MINORS WERE FAR LESS NUMEROUS THAN THE AUSTIN SEVEN AND JUST UNDER 40,000 OF THE OVERHEAD CAM TYPES AND RATHER MORE THAN 47,000 SIDE VALVE MODELS WERE BUILT BEFORE THE MORE WIDELY SOLD MORRIS EIGHT ARRIVED IN THE MID-1930S.
THIS EXAMPLE HAS BEEN LOCALLY OWNED FOR MANY YEARS AND WILL MAKE AN INTERESTING RESTORATION PROJECT. IT HAS COACHWORK BY BURLINGTON CARRIAGE CO LTD AND HAS A SMALL REAR BENCH SEAT. TIME PERMITTING IT IS HOPED THIS ATTRACTIVE MORRIS MINOR WILL BE IN RUNNING CONDITION BY THE TIME OF THE AUCTION.
