On the 2nd of July 2014, a long-anticipated match-up of an Austin Seven and Morris Minor under test conditions took place on the perimeter track of the 100th Bomb Group Museum’s Thorpe Abbotts airfield. The adjudicator was Matthew Bell from The Automobile magazine. Flying the Minor flag that day was VJ 1756, a 1929 Morris Minor Tourer (Prudence) owned by Janie Maeers. This unusual view of Janie’s car was taken from the roof of the airfield’s ‘watch tower’ just prior to the test sessions taking place. The inconclusive report of proceedings that day eventually appeared in the November 2014 edition of The Automobile.
