  • Der Morris FV war ein Lkw, der von Morris Commercial, einem Teil der britischen Morris Motor Company, von 1948 bis 1959 hergestellt wurde. Der Frontlenker ersetzte den Morris CVF. Nach der Fusion von Morris und Austin Motors wurde das Fahrzeug ab 1954 auch unter der Marke Austin vertrieben. 1955 wurde das Modell überarbeitet und erhielt die Bezeichnung Morris/Austin FE. Zusätzlich wurde eine Variante mit einer Nutzlast von sieben Tonnen angeboten, die den Austin Loadstar ersetzte. Diese Variante wurde 1958 durch den Morris FF, die anderen Varianten der Serie ab 1959 durch den Morris FG abgelöst. (de)
  • The Morris FV was a "5-ton" lorry/truck produced by "Morris Commercial", part of Britain's Morris Motor Company, between 1948 and 1954. The forward control vehicle replaced the Morris CVF. After Morris merged with the Austin Motor Company in 1954, forming together the British Motor Corporation, the Morris FV was also available with an Austin badge. In 1955 the truck was modified, emerging as the Morris/Austin FE. The forward control cab configuration was an innovative feature when the FV was introduced in 1948. It's "5-ton" weight designation made it suitable for a wide range of applications. It featured a simple cabin with rear-hinged doors. In most respects the design was one reminiscent of pre-war designs, although development of the truck did not begin till after the end of the war in 1945. Apart from the Pickup truck, Panel van and Tractor unit versions were offered. Customers could also buy the FV in Bare chassis form and obtain specialist bodywork from an appropriate supplier. For municipal fire departments, however, Morris offered their own factory-built Fire engine version. The truck was powered by a 4.3-litre six cylinder diesel engine produced under license from Adolph Saurer AG. More commonly on the domestic market it was fitted with a 4-cylinder Morris petrol/gasoline engine delivering a claimed maximum 80 hp (59 kW) of power. From 1953 a 6-cylinder Morris petrol/gasoline delivering a claimed maximum 100 hp (74 kW) of power was also offered. After the Austin-Morris merger in 1954 the cabin was modified, the most visible difference being the doors which were now hinged at the front end. The doors themselves were now narrower, however. Technically the Austin and Morris versions were identical, but the front grills were differently shaped. The Austin featured a horizontal grill while that on the Mrris was in the shape of an upside down heart. The modified vehicle was known as the 'Series II', and its predecessor therefore now became known as the 'Series I'. The Series II was itself replaced after only a year by the (in most respects unchanged) Series III. (en)
