Tim Harding‘s pre-war car image legacy will continue to be felt for many months to come, as well over 400 Morris and MG images were acquired at auction by this website following Tim’s death in 2021. The auction house stated in their pre-auction blurb that his collection numbered in excess of 20,000 photos. Many of the Morris and MG images auctioned in November 2023 were familiar, as it transpires that Tim and the author were bidding against each other on eBay (and other auction sites) for some of these when originally available. This photograph is a case in point. It features a 1930 Nottingham registered Gordon England Morris Minor Two-seater (VO 4346). There were four shots of this comparitively rare special for auction on eBay eight or nine years ago two of which were acquired by the Network and despite bidding for all four, it is now evident that it was Tim who had won the others as they now also reside in the Network’s archive as part of his Morris collection recently purchased. The similarity between the Morris Minor Semi-Sports and the ‘England Morris Minor Two-seater’ (as it was named and marketed by the Gordon England concern) is often discussed in Minor circles for clear and obvious reasons.
