Why does a Valentine’s postcard of a 1933 Morris Ten-Four (– 2007) feature this week? A good question, answered by stating that at the time of purchase on eBay it was believed to be that of a Morris Minor. Closer inspection revealed the tell-tale Lucas Altette horn centrally affixed to the wingbrace cross-member along with the car’s headlamps. The family likeness is apparent in the similarity of the Ten-Four’s front profile with that of the Minor. The photograph is also well worth seeing, providing an interesting period view of Winchester High Street, framed by the city’s West Gate.
