Jonny Smith, present of The Late Brake Show, has been hankering to visit Morris Commercial for a long time and last month we were very happy to welcome him.  So, on a cold but sunny day in early March he took the wheel of a number of our old and new Morris vans. We had a fun day with Jonny who really enjoyed getting immersed in the heritage of the great Morris Commercial brand and the development of our highly innovative all new, electric Morris JE prototypes. 

He drove and loved our original 1952 J Type and was fascinated by the story of the JE’s development and its key features, including the ultra lightweight re-cycled carbon fibre body, the clever space-saving geometry of the patent pending “hinge-less” rear doors and the aluminium chassis, not to mention our well-appointed Morris Commercial offices, designed and built in-house from used shipping containers, reinforcing Morris’s sustainability endeavours. Jonny also loved his drive in the world-renowned blue/cream van and his first drive of the pink/cream van. He has produced a great YouTube show and perfectly summarised the heritage of our all new, all electric Morris JE and praising its many innovative features and use of lightweight materials. The show was viewed by over 300,000 people worldwide in the first 48 hours and generated over 1,500 very positive comments. You really should see it for yourself.
