nice old photo of a 1932/3 tourer - haven't checked the chassis register to see if it still exists yet

Very nice period shot - but sadly no trace on the Register, or at DVLA. So very probably one of the roughly 99% of Minors that didn't make it to the present day.

On the subject of old photos, mum recently visited Ken Martin at his home, she was handed a photograph, in black and white, taken he assumed in the early 60's of MT, with (a young) mum stood next to it, having got the picture home, mum was able to go though old photos and establish that the pic was taken at Beaulieu on what was pretty much the cars first trip after mum and dad bought it and rebuilt it, mum was clearly seen in other pics from that trip wearing the same skirt! ( she doesn't have it now...
)
So, this picture was taken 47 yrs ago, and kept somewhere, then spotted by Ken, and given to mum, now tell me, what are the chances of that happening........... not only did the picture survive 47 yrs, it was then not thrown away, but sold......... to someone who knew the car and owner!!
