Minor body numbers

Post by Ian Grace »

I'm undertaking some research into Minor body numbers, and the subject is quite complicated, as different body styles used different numbering sequences and prefix letters. There are a number of apparent anomalies in some of the numbers on record with the chassis register and we also have only a handful of numbers to go on. Could I ask everyone reading this and who owns a Minor to take a look for your car's body number and let me know.

Thanks!

I'm particularly looking for scuttle tank body numbers of late OHC and early SV saloons. These were constructed in the body shop and sent to the parallel OHC and SV production lines during the changeover period in 1931, the only difference being colours available and also that only the OHC bodies were fitted with sliding rear windows.
