This photo appeared among the images in a recent eBay listing for HY 1833. The car is a comparatively rare Bristol registered 1931 OHC Morris Minor Tourer which has spent a large part of its life in the west country.

The photo depicts a happy family holiday scene and looks to have been taken in the early seventies at what surely must be a recognisable seaside/port venue?
