XG 945 was a 1931 S.V. Morris Minor Coachbuilt (folding-head) Saloon, to give it its full brochure name. It was one of just 2816 S.V. Minor Saloons built between early February and the end of July 1931 and cost £119 in its Coachbuilt form or just £114 with a fabric skinned body. This particular car was registered in Middlesbrough towards the tail-end of the year and has been equipped with a large spotlight, what looks to be a cast number plate and is running on almost bald tyres – a common occurrence in the snapshots that feature here.
