PL 9079 is a 1931 Surrey registered Morris Minor Two-seater. What is interesting about this £100’er is the detail to be found on this simple family snapshot. The ‘Auster’ manufacturers badge can be clearly seen in the centre of the windscreen’s top rail, while the routing of the rubber flexible vacuum wiper hose is also evident. The positioning of the rear-view mirror on the windscreen upright has also been a point of discussion in the past but this image re-affirms its correct positioning. A siting of the Minor’s hood bag is also a rare occurence and reveals the use of flimsy ‘economy’ material. One change the owner has made is to site the spare wheel on the car’s tail as opposed to keeping it in the boot, thus freeing up some on-board stowage space.
