Ten years ago this website was reporting the sale and transfer of 1934 Morris Minor Saloon (DG 8657) from the custody of Norfolk Network member Andy Brown to the ownership of another long-term member Kenneth Allen in Woking, Surrey. Two other regular’s names crop up in the newstream, those of Alister Reid (Highlander on the forum) and John Nagle, who’s restoration of his 1934 Two-seater (OW 4224) received acclaim at the Classic Car Show which was being held at the NEC in Birmingham at that time.
EV 5204 is an Essex registered 1932 Morris Minor Two-seater currently owned owned by John Whalley. While this photo of ‘Evie’ was only taken recently, a casual observer would be hard-pressed to find any 21st century references or clues in this very period looking photograph.(Although could that be a Sky dish above the parasol?)
Following a short break in service, the Network’s forum is now available once again. www.prewarminorforum.com
This 1932 Morris Minor Two-seater (chassis SV12577) has been resident in the U.S.A. for many years but is about to be auctioned in Kansas City. The car formerly carried a Dublin registration (ZI 8647) and until its shipment to the U.S. was owned by Network member Sam Christie, in Belfast.
1934 Morris Minor Two-seater (JO 9088) is currently subject to an online auction being run by well known auctioneers H&H. The car has hardly seen any use over the past 50 years yet appears to run well. There are plenty of high resolution images and a video to view on the H&H auction site here. The car is unusual in that it has been modified to include a lid to gain access to the boot without the need to lower the rear of the seat to do so. More can be found about this car and others currently for sale by joining our Discussion Forum here.
Brian Aket at the VSCC has galvanised the non-competitive element within the club by putting together a comprehensive nationwide program of regionally based tours. This great photo of the ex – Dan Brockway 1933 Morris Minor Two-seater (APC 484) was taken by Phil Jones during the recent VSCC Somerset Tour, yet another new event to the calendar. Although the VSCC’s 2024 schedule of events is yet to be published, there is every chance that one of their well organised tours will take place next year not too far away from where you live. While the name of the driver of APC 484 is unknown it was entered by Tom Palmer. (Image Phil Jones via Mike Tebbett)
Tony Adlard forwarded this image of a 1929 Holden bodied Morris Minor roadster (ZZD 067). It was taken in Brisbane, Queensland last month at a British Car show. These Australian Two-seater roadsters preceded by two years the launch of the very similarly shaped £100 Minor in the U.K. (Photo: John Adlard)
