The nose cone from Minor Special, ‘Wilson’s Wasp’ has just returned from the paint shop. The emergence of a fully finished car is surely not too distant!

1933 (’34 season) Minor Two-seater (UD 5774) has recently appeared on the market and is currently being listed for sale by a trader in Bicester. This car underwent a complete and thorough restoration between 2012 and 2015. At that time, the owner established a thread on this website’s forum to record the car’s progress back to road-worthiness. Any prospective buyers may wish to check this out by joining our forum here.

Halbe Tjepkema from The Hague has regularly used his beautiful Minor Fabric Saloon throughout the winter, which means that his car requires very little extra preparation for the spring and summer drivng season!

Amid much interest, Halbe Tjepkema is seen here arriving at Thorpe Abbotts in his newly restored 1929 Minor Fabric Saloon (DZ-50-41) on the morning of Saturday 9th June 2018. The occasion was the start of Saturday’s proceedings at the Pre-war Minor Network’s ninth annual rally.

This ‘special’ body has adorned much-modified 1930 Minor WL 9353 for at least 62 years. Morris Register member Clive Cotteral recalls buying  the car in 1958, its special body already being in situ. It was used extensively throughout the sixties, although it has now been off-the-road since 1992. Clive has subsequently passed the car on to another family member and the hope is that it will eventually join the growing band of roadworthy pre-war Minors. Let’s hope so!

… to the rally! If you haven’t already done so, BOOK NOW! (Ken Martin photo)

This June 1931 built SV Minor Tourer, which was originally exported to Oz in rolling chassis form, has been unearthed in Western Australia by a car museum curator. It’s the curator’s intention to restore the car, hopefully with the help of the resources available via the Network.

Paul Compton’s 1934 Wolseley Hornet Aerees Special is a regular attendee at the VSCC’s New Year Brooklands Driving Tests. This possibly unique single-seater was photographed at the 2020 event, held on Sunday 19th January.

The VSCC’s Brooklands Driving Tests event is a firm New Year fixture in the club’s calendar. This year the day was blessed with glorious winter sunshine and as a result a much larger than usual crowd attended. They were treated to some spirited driving, particularly from David Rolfe in his Riley engined MG M Type special (VU 7908). Here he is seen at the end of a test sharing a joke with a marshall.
