IOTW no.820

By February 16, 2026IOTW

John McDonald from Christchurch, New Zealand, is a regular contributor to this spot and has supplied over 30 IOTW images since his first in 2009. John doesn’t say where he found this image of an RTA-damaged 1932 or 1933 Sports/Special Coupe (X7.920). He writes: “Confined inside today as a southerly storm lashes both islands down here. A most unusual occurrence in the supposed height of summer, but that seems to be the norm now. Using the time to shoot you another southern Minor, this one a Family 8 coupe or a Special coupe which has been in a bit of a bingle in Auckland in 1933. Minor (!) injuries in a car vs car; the number plate is interesting in that the ‘X’ at the beginning would indicate a dealer trade plate, so maybe the car was on a demonstration when this happened. Regardless, a rare car in NZ, even in the UK.”
