This 1930 Southampton registered OHC Morris Minor special (TR 9693) was a surprising find among a batch of Motor 35 mm negatives, particularly as they were dated February 1939 and taken at the Chiltern Car Club’s annual trial. A little research in the archive revealed that the car was owned by H.S. Pearson and used competitively by him from 1937 onwards. Other images of this car (which has a squared-off tail) appeared in in a 1938 edition of Light Car while a third can be found among the Bill Brunell collection held at Beaulieu.
