1933 Minor

Post by audrey21 »

When I was growing up my father had a 1933 minor that needed to be restored, and he sold it! I was wondering how rare that car is and if anyone knows where it might be. It was sold in the mid - 1990's in the USA - Washington state. Any information about this car would be appreciated. I know that the model was only released for about five years since the first one in 1928, but I don't know how many are out there.

The pre-war Morris Minor sold very well in the U.K. (especially when the £100 car was offered). We see restored examples at most large classic car events so a fair few have survived in the U.K. However I've got no idea how many were actually sold in the U.S.A - books on the (post-war) Minor indicated that Morris had limited sales success before the war. So I guess the answer is that it's quite rare....
