The nickname ‘Bullet nose’ for describing the radiator shape of these small economical English cars quickly became popularly - ‘bullnose’.
“New, improved” Morris Cowley models appeared in Australia in late 1925 with a washer sealed between the carburettor and the cylinder block to prevent the cars being driven too fast, this effectively limited the maximum speed to 30 mph (48 kph) for running-in.
