A well sorted VSCC eligible racer, based on the 'Keen Special'.
Alfred E. Keen started at Morris as an apprentice in 1902 and becoming
Director of Morris Motors in 1933. In 1922 he took at random one of the Cowley
engines being delivered from the Hotchkiss Works at Coventry and proceeded to
tuned it. He highered the compression, ported and lightened the engine, then fitted it to a modified
chassis and fitted a rudimentary single seat body.
The car proved very successful in sprints and hill climbs throughout the early 20's.
The car we have for sale is a copy of the 'Keen' car, but now using the larger Oxford engine.
The is fast, very torque'y and now fitted with a larger fuel tank, an idea circuit racer.
