The picture you're trying to post is probably too large. Try resizing it on your pc and then posting again.
Here's how to help

The thames blue is graham Holt's (oxford branch chairman)
He says:
actually, there were 6 Series ‘MM’ Minors there to my knowledge. Although the caption says 5 x Lowlights, I am only aware of the 4 shown. Was there another and, if so, where was it?
These included the three 2 door saloons from our Branch: Frank’s 1948, my 1950 and Mick’s 1952 (shown together - and in date order!).
The others shown are a 1950 Convertible: a 2 door saloon, (date 1950?): and a 1952 Convertible (no picture).
Of these, three are fitted with the Alta Conversion: Mine and the two Convertibles. (Incidentally, the 1952 version is also supercharged!).

The 5th Low-light - after looking through all the photos I took, the 5th one was a relocated MYX 30. Very sorry, doesn't help when cars enter the cavalcade and then park up elsewhere!
Apart from Mike Perry's Series MM High-light, I've got a picture of another one (zoomed up from a large field shot and pasted as a cut image[frame]
[/frame]
So, Graham Holt is correct - 4 x Low-light and 2 x high-light. There would have been 3 high-lights had I managed to get the brakes bled on my '51 short bonnet 2-door saloon with 918 side-valve engine (see signature pic).

My '51 highlight, short bonnet tourer in Thames blue, car number SMM 108352, would also have had a first outing, ..... if I had managed to finish overhauling the brakes. The Morris may be for sale later this year, as I now have a Corvette too, which demands my time, and money! I want to enjoy it before I cannot get in and out of it!
