SGG Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 My deceased uncle bought the attached in an auction in the UK around 1960 and I'm told by another relative that it was built in the 1930s. I'm presuming it is a European car (probably British). Can anyone help to identify this for me and/or to identify the emblem on the grille (not sure if this is a logo for the car, or perhaps for an automobile association)? Thank you.

41 Su8 Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Very close to MG 18/80 except for lack of fender lights. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Wetherbee Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Looks like a 1934 Morris Minor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldtech Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Close but I think it's a 1933 Minor. Front fenders change 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGG Posted February 16, 2022 Author Share Posted February 16, 2022 Very helpful, thank you. I know absolutely nothing about antique cars, but checking out images online, it does look like it was a 1933 Morris Minor Two-Seater Tourer (e.g., https://www.classic.com/veh/1933-morris-minor-side-valve-two-seater-31073-w4aMz64), rather than the 1934 (e.g., https://www.classic.com/veh/1934-morris-minor-two-seater-tourer-34ms45076-WkPD3Rp), but just knowing it was an early 1930s Morris Minor is good enough for me. The emblem on the grille appears to be a UK Automobile Association emblem (https://www.breakdowncover.org.uk/the-aa/aa-car-badges). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vintman Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 (edited) Hi, Registration is UK Manchester 1933. The car is indeed a 1933 Morris Minor and indeed an AA Badge. This was introduced 1931 as a £100 car in completion with Austin Seven and was still available as a basic car in 1933. Vintman.
