Available as a 4-door saloon, the Fourteen had a Morris QSDM 6-cylinder side-valve engine displacing 1,818cc, and achieving 14.07hp (RAC). It was available with a 3 or 4 speed gearbox.[1]

It was released a year later than the other models (with different engine and body sizes) that were collectively known as the "Series II" Morris range.

The Fourteen Series III was launched together with the Ten, Twelve, and Twenty Five at the 1937 Motor Show.

The Morris Fourteen Series III is most readily distinguished in having a painted, rather than chromed, radiator cowl — as also happened with its larger sibling, the Morris Twenty-Five.

Another similarity to the Twenty-Five's progression from Series II to Series III is that the engine became an overhead valve unit, while maintaining the same displacement and power as its predecessor.

The Series III also gained covers for its glove compartments.[2]
