The chassis number is SV24344, making this a 1932 Minor, supported by the registration date of 6/12/32 and 1932 tax disk with the car...
I suspect that this is a '34 Minor using a 1932 Minor logbook. I have asked the vendor to scrape the front dumbiron!
Incidentally, the vendor is looking for a head gasket - anyone know of a source of SV Minor gaskets?

Now I am confused. I have a e-mail from the vendor, Colin Sheeran, stating chassis number SV25344, and one from Compass Garage who checked the chassis number with Mike Houston's help (thanks, Mike!), and quote 34/MS/39552. I have e-mailed Colin to check that he is talking about the same car!

OK - clarifying e-mail from Compass Garage - the car they have on sale - with the 1934 chassis number - is JH 7194, a black '34 saloon. All as it should be.
However, SV 24344 (WJ 5453) is 1932, but is really a 1934 car! On sale on Car and Classics for Colin Sheeran. This is the car that needs its dumbiron scraped!

Seems to be excellent value

Had more feedback from the owner - with some lovely period pics for the Mag. It turns out that Colin's father used many replacement parts in the fifties to keep the caer going - including most of a 1934 saloon by the looks of it! The chassis and chassis plate all refer to the 1932 chassis and I have seen the 1932 tax disk. So it is very much a hybrid.
(I will try to persuade Colin to keep the car - I can't imagine selling a car that my father had owned for that long - specially with the journey log, etc. that goes with it.)

Well, I tried! Here's Colin's reply:
"hi ian. yes it has been a difficult decision to sell the morris and i have chosen a particulary bad time.but the car has been sat in my garage for the past four years and it has taken a considerable effort to get it back in running order .i have decided to by a caravan so i can take the family on wkend brakes and unfortunately i do not have the space for both.so the morris has to go hopefully to a good home. i have attached a pic of the car with i think its origional narrow wings .tyres.cross bar and rad cover.think that might be my late mother stood beside it. thanks colin."
