1933 Morris Minor | Coventry, Warwickshire

The Morris Minor of 1928-1934 was Morris's small car, built to take on the Austin Seven. Owners of the two kept up a friendly rivalry for years. This 1933 car shows the model's appeal: compact, upright and easy to place in a street scene. This car is finished in Black with a grey interior, a sober pairing that suits its straight-backed lines. It seats four, and an 800cc engine sits under the bonnet. Condition is very good. The small period body and dark paintwork suit 1930s-set film and TV, where the car passes as an ordinary street vehicle. Fashion and editorial photographers get a characterful subject that leaves room for the setting around it, and at events its upright shape makes a tidy display piece. For weddings it offers an intimate alternative to a limousine. The car is based in Coventry.
