The £100 Morris Minor prototype (JO 764) looks minuscule parked alongside this 1934 3.5-litre Morris 25 (JT 667). Both vehicles are owned by Mick Roberts, the photograph being taken in his back garden at a recent Macmillan charity fundraiser organised (regularly) by Mick and his wife, Judith.

The coastline of Mid-Wales in June is a mouth-watering prospect, as are the vistas on view in the hills and valleys to the east.

If you are considering entering, don’t delay – download the Rally Entry Form here and take your place among the fortunate crews who will be there over the weekend of 11th-13th June.

APG 15 is a 1933 Morris Minor Two-seater. The photograph looks to have been taken in a leafy part of the Home Counties, perhaps in the County of Surrey, where this car was first registered. While there is no caption present, the smartly dressed middle-class gent, clutching his pipe and proudly standing alongside the Minor, reminds the writer of a former school teacher. The car has a few aftermarket accessories, including a wing bracing bar and a spotlight, while a rear-view mirror is attached to the offside front wing and a flamboyant (but unrecognisable) glass radiator cap ornament is also fitted.

The Triple M series of MG’s all belong to a family of models that commenced with the 1929 MG Midget and continued through to the mid-thirties via a long string of four and six cylinder OHC engined cars that forged the marques identity.
Situated on the South Downs, above the town, the Lewes Speed Trials were a regular and much-looked-forward-to series of annual fixtures. This photograph of Dennis Evans in the Belleview Garage supercharged 750 CC Montlhery Midget was taken on 8th May 1937 when the car and driver won the 1100 cc class with a time of 22.65 seconds. Just over a year later, on August 20th 1938, Dennis recorded the fastest-ever time by an MG over that same course when the timing apparatus recorded his Midget crossing the line in a remarkable 19.44 seconds.
