I see there is a 1933 side valve Minor in the H&H catalogue in their auction on Feb 17th. I have no more info than that.

Re: Another Minor
This is Jen Lees' Minor US 2299 SV26862. Thanks Mike.
Lot : 01
1933 Morris Minor Tourer
Estimate:£3000 - 4000
Registration No:US 2299
Chassis No: 26862
Engine No:27339A
CC:885
Colour: Green
Trim Colour:Green
MOT:May 2010
Intended as a direct riposte to the Austin 7, Morris launched its Minor 8HP in 1928. Initially available with a (Wolseley derived) overhead camshaft 847cc, four cylinder engine, a sidevalve unit of the same capacity was introduced in 1931. This later unit not only developed near identical power (its 19bhp being enough to propel the lightweight Minor to nearly 60mph) but also offered the twin advantages of greater reliability and lower cost. With its nimble, leaf-sprung chassis, all round drum brakes and wire wheels, the Minor was a fine handling car as proven by the competition exploits of its MG M-type cousin.
Finished in green over black with green leather upholstery, this particular example is described by the vendor as being in "fair / good" condition with regard to its engine, gearbox, electrical equipment, interior trim and bodywork (while, he rates the paintwork as "fair"). Prior to entering the current ownership in 2003, the Morris is believed to have undergone a variety of mechanical and electric work. A handwritten note from the previous keeper indicating that he had treated the engine to: "a reground crankshaft, new mains bearings, flushed waterways, fresh hoses, re-metalled conrods and new spark plugs", as well as "an overhauled starter motor and replacement dynamo". The same gentleman is also thought to have paid attention to the Minor's differential, exhaust, rear wheel bearings, tyres and brakes. Upgraded with an isolator switch, electric wiper motor, 6-volt flashing indicators and modern-type grease nipples, this charming `30s Morris Minor possesses a MOT certificate valid until May 2010.

Re: Another Minor
Just put a photo of this car climbing Prescott at VMR 2005 on the website. Here it is at Brian and Heidi Maeers' Manor Farm, Peatling Magna with the other troops about to be inspected by Colonel Maeers.
Re: Another Minor
This looks like a cracking good car Ian. Surely the estimate is too low? 
if it's got wheels or chips - it'll cost you dear
Re: Another Minor
Delighted to report that this has gone to a very good home indeed, and I should be able to be more specific shortly.
