The Morris Isis line ended in 1958 and the name was discontinued, after sales that remained weak throughout the second series. The Isis Traveller estate version, with a rear design similar to the Morris Oxford Estate, could carry six adults using a rearward facing seat in the luggage area. The Isis had never achieved the moderate success of its sister car, the Austin Westminster, against the volume selling Ford and Vauxhall sixes.
