Why is it called the Morris Eight - is it horse power

[edit]

Morris_Motors#Car_models_(excludes_light_vans) says it is 8 hp but this article says 20+ bhp. Is it named for 8 hp ? and why is the bhp so much higher ? - Rod57 (talk) 15:51, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

... Morris Six mention a tax horsepower approx a quarter of the bhp. Is Eight the tax horsepower ? - Rod57 (talk) 16:03, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
... Tax horsepower suggests it is, and explains the difference. Now noted in Morris Motors etc. - Rod57 (talk) 18:58, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
