Launched in 1957 as a replacement for the ageing "woody" construction Series III Oxford Traveller, the Series IV was only ever produced as a Traveller estate and was produced alongside the then, current Series III. The all steel, four door, estate body of the Series IV was significantly different to the earlier two door "woody" types in both design and construction.
Series III Oxford's came in a variety of eye catching two-tone paint schemes, complete with fancy chrome waist mouldings. The Series IV Oxford lasted in production until 1960, briefly being produced alongside the new "Farina" Oxford Series V.
