Just 2816 1931 SV Morris Minor Coachbuilt Saloons were manufactured of which this late spring East Sussex registered car is one. Some of this number were built as Fabric Saloons although precisely how many (how few is probably more appropriate) is not known. The three formidable women in this photo, led by Nora Batty’s double, are perhaps on their way to church. The leaves on the trees and open windscreen on the Minor would indicate that it’s high summer, but hats, coats and gloves are clearly the order of the day.
