Best neo-retro edition ever. Morris Commercial succeed where Volkswagen Type 2 and Citroën H-Type failed, keeping the spirit and the authenticity of an iconic van while giving it all the new toys. It's a proof of taste and commercial sense. I can't wait having one of those.

This is very intelligent. I wish Morris Commercial all the best and hope their endeavor is a success!

What happened to the sliding doors? I used to love driving my old Bedford Utilibrake with the sliding doors clipped open in the summer. I know it was bad 'Elf and Safety but it was Fun.

This is such a thing of beauty. What a wonder job the company has done with this.

Brilliant! Near my home in Canberra there is an original Morris J on static display in a local shop.

@Morris Commercial now if you built an LHD version for export... now it will be something, especially in Europe and Asia.

Been saying for years the original 2CV, Renault 4, Mini, etc need to make a comeback. Original but with better engines, equipment or even electric.

I had the original and it was. The awful side valve engine that let it down, it was thirsty and unreliable burnt oil like it was going out of style. BUT the shape was really cute and pleasant even the sliding door was nice. I failed my driving test as it did not impress the examiner when he sat right back. I retook it in an escort next time.

Sorry you don't like it...

It would be nice here in the USA, but put a petrol/gasoline engine/drivetrain in it. Also get rid of the 'convenience' electronics like the cameras for side mirrors, those are just an added expense. Ms. Li must never have seen the USA vans of the 1970s-1980, that were heavily modified on the inside to suite the owner's purpose, and with all styles of graphics on the exterior. One deterrent to a USA version might be the recent demise of the smaller vans produced by Nissan, Ford, and Dodge/RAM. Those were really minimalist on the interior, had no 'style', had poor suspension and handling (the Ford Transit that I drove for a while at work) and were not comfortable at all; even the passenger versions were pretty 'spartan' on the inside.

@unconventionalideas5683

Truthfully, the range is actually quite reasonable from what I have seen, even potentially in an American context. The petrol/gasoline thing might not be necessary because of that.

Such a shame they have dropped the split screen. Interior is a bit too posh

IT'S A NICE COPY OF THE 1930'S, 40'S International Harvester

Split windscreen only obstructive downside

2:40 sounds like they need to work on refinement.

Hello Maximillian, well spotted, but that is the 1949 petrol van at 2:40 and yes, it is very noisy with the engine inside the cab. You can even lift the cover and change the spark plugs at the traffic lights without moving from the driver's seat. I can assure you that the electric JE is "whisper quiet"! Have a great 2023!

It's definitely extortionately priced. Just like the VW ID BUZZ

Hi stottybox, the side door of the production pink van will accept a pallet and overall the van has a class leading 1,000 kg payload and 6.5m3 rear volume. This with a 80kWh battery gives a class leading range of 250 miles WLTP. The lightweight design is the key, compared to the heavy structures of our competition. Weight is everything for a commercial vehicle as I am sure you know. So we believe that we are style AND substance!

It amazes me the relentless pursuit of the English car designers to produce junk cars since beginning of last century. I think they should just stop doing this instead design and produce nice comfort coffee table Instead ..!!😂

Looks nothing like the original how many have they sold ? three I've ne'er seen one , it's far too small in comparison with a vw , sprinter , transit, etc

u must sack quli

electric is rubbish it wont last 10 years we be on h20

Making it electric has doomed it to fail.
