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)
As a rule the Network’s Far Eastern autumn pub meets have been blessed with good weather, the 2023 version (thankfully) continuing that trend. After a meandering amble around half a dozen of Suffolk’s beautiful villages those attending exercised their jaws outside the Cross Keys pub in Redgrave in preparation for the lunch that followed. Here, Mike Summers arrives in his 1932 Morris Minor Two-seater (OJ 1865).
The Network’s Far Eastern pub meet takes place on Sunday 8th October at the Cross Keys, Redgrave, Suffolk IP22 1RW. Those wishing to take part in the short circular 23 mile tour should plan to be in the pub car park by no later than 11:00 AM which should ensure a return around noon. All pre-war cars and their crews are welcome.
This unusual looking 1934 Morris Minor homebuilt special (AHT 359) is listed for sale on both the carandclassic website and on eBay. Its carandclassic asking price is £4950 illustrating the current affordability of pre-war cars. To find this and seven other ‘available to buy’ Morris Minors visit this website’s forum.
Geof Wilson’s 1929 Morris Minor Wasp special (MM 9326) is seen here sitting in the Shelsley Walsh paddock prior to making an ascent of the famous Worcestershire hill last month. Geof has prepared a bucket list of motor sporting venues to which he wants to take ‘The Wasp’, with Shelsley being close to the top!
Tony Farrar’s 1932 Morris Minor Two-seater (PXS 647) has been out and about once again. It’s seen here parked alongside AA box no.573, which is located near Garrowby Hill on the A166 between York and Driffield. The box is protected by its Grade II Listed Building status as are the majority of similiar remaining boxes.
This well looked after specimen of a 1932 Morris Minor Two-seater (OW 1920) has been in the custodianship of Lewes, East Sussex resident Peter Weston for many years. It’s fair to say that the salt laden sea air has little chance of getting to work on the metalwork of this car as it leads a cossetted life in Peter’s garage. Peter is particularly proud of many of the car’s fixtures and fittings, including a 1930’s cast rear numberplate.
