IOTW no.725

By March 5, 2024March 7th, 2024IOTW

This image poses more questions than provides answers. The car is a 1933 Newcastle-upon-Tyne registered Morris Minor Saloon (VK 9375) but that is about all that can be positively gleaned about the vehicle from this head-on shot. That it’s a S.V. model is apparent from the raised headlamps, but the non-standard after market bumper bar, Lucas 1120 sidelights and trafficators do not aid identification. Is it a lwb or swb model? It could be that the image was taken well into its life cycle which is when many of these changes occur but the image is bereft of clues as to when it was originally  taken. (Thank you to Stuart Clark for spotting this on eBay) Edited to add: Forum member Mick Lynch (NovaScotian) believes that this original photograph was taken in Walbottle, a village on Newcastle’s western extremities.
