The pre-war Minor was launched to compete with the Austin Seven and was assembled at Morris's Cowley plant from 1929 until 1934, at which time it was replaced by the Morris Eight. The newcomer was ultimately offered in seven guises - five on the standard short wheelbase chassis (6ft 6in) and two on an extended platform (7ft 7in). Two engine types were employed. The earlier and more technically advanced 847cc OHC unit was fitted to all examples made up to January 1931, at which point an equivalent capacity 19bhp side-valve unit was introduced to power a £100 Minor and a range of other economy models. A three-speed gearbox was employed until 1933. Suspension was by semi-elliptic leaf springs front and rear and braking by cable-operated drums all round. The model's most successful year was 1932, during which no less than 19,248 of the total 86,318 were built. Even then, the Minor was still outsold by the ubiquitous Austin Seven, production of which continued in one form or another until 1939.

Chassis ‘34/MS/40794’ was despatched from the factory on the 12th February 1934, and thereafter road registered in Oxford on the 6th March. Reputedly retained in first ownership for several decades, the Morris is understood to have been purchased into the previous ownership at some stage of the 1990s and was kept in said custodianship for some thirty years. Benefitting from a comprehensive restoration during this period, the Morris is understood to have been used regularly following the completion of the restoration. Presented in Dark Blue paintwork with Black wings and wheels, the notable nice interior is trimmed in Dark Blue leather.

Purchased by the vendor a couple of years ago as an addition to his private collection, the Morris is now only on offer due to larger pre-war cars arriving shortly. An attendee of local events and shows around Derbyshire while with the vendor, the Minor has also benefitted from a new stainless-steel exhaust approximately two months ago. Offered with a history file that contains a copy of the original registration record, a BMIHT Heritage Certificate, an original handbook, a collection of invoices, and a current V5C document, this Minor with just three known owners in the last ninety years is due to be driven some 25 miles to the sale!
