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.

Regular Kiwi IOTW contributor, John McDonald, recently forwarded this image of a 1932 or 33 Morris Minor homebuilt special with an external wooden frame, built in the same manner as that of the post-war Morris Minor Traveller. The photo is likely to have been taken in the post-war period, when the vehicle was perhaps 20 years old.
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.
