Morris' 1927 acquisition of Wolseley facilitated the production
of a light car intended to rival Austin's highly successful Seven.
Wolseley's 847cc. four-cylinder. overhead-camshaft engine provided
the motive power for the new Minor which. with around double the
Seven's output. enjoyed markedly superior performance. The simple
ladder-type chassis featured cable-operated brakes and a
three-speed gearbox with dry clutch. A two-seater tourer was
introduced in December 1930 costing only £100 despite a generous
level of equipment. Having spent a full day putting the '£100
marvel' through its paces. theDaily Heralddeclared: 'Four years
ago. the same car could not have been produced for twice the
price. ' Despite being acclaimed by press and public alike. the
original 'cammy' Minor was dropped in 1932 in favour of the
recently introduced - and cheaper to produce - sidevalve-engined
version. The new engine retained the same bore/stroke dimensions as
the superseded OHC unit. which lived on in various MG sports cars. br/>and was claimed to produce only one horsepower less.

Originally registered on 4th May 1934. this
Morris Minor was owned by the previous keeper for 37 years and
formed part of his impressive collection of cars. This two-seater
tourer is in need of a little time and investment although a sound
example who would not take too much effort to turn back into a
delightful yet perfectly useable pre-war sports car. The green
paintwork is in good order as is the interior trim. Supplied with a
V5C registration document and a buff logbook. this eight horse
powered Morris is ready for its new owner to carry out works and
bring this handsome car back to pristine condition.
