Hi Gem
I don't know what i am thinking coming on this topic as i don't know a thing about Classic cars ;D only that i love them.Also to let you know that you inspired/gave me an excuse this morning to buy a book "Classic Cars" (1900 to the present day which was 1982)which i found in a charity shop. As i am a pensioner i had to have an excuse for buying it in case i got funny looks so i said it was for a friend ;) I have looked through all 243 pages and the only car that looks remotely like your Might be partly restored car is an M.G. There are others it might be though. Just for the record Having been to a few shows.I know that some small 1920/30's convertables, with a round backside ;D is where the spare wheel was stored as there wasn't a boot.
I found a picture on the net earlier on of a car that looks just like the photo.It is taken on a farm and has been converted to work on the land. Have a look and see what you think. http://www.oldclassiccar.co.uk/20_citroenhalftrack.htm

 ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D

Well, Celia you have made my day. I have a big grin on my face  ;D all because of you. I never knew I could inspire any one to buy a book about my old car.   ;)

I have looked at the web site and must admit it is similar but not the same as my old car.

Thanks for your reply. I am going shopping and not for books.  ;D

Hello everyone,  :)

It has been confirmed by the "National Motor Museum Hampshire" that the old car is a 1931 Morris Minor two seater.

I tried to find a photo but the only one closest tomine is the photo of a 1933 Morris Minor two seater with Dicky seat. It is also a hard top and not a soft top.

Thank you everyone for your interest.
Gem  :) ;D

Excellent gemma!!!

Glad you solved the mystery.  I will tell my dad when I next see him - he will be interested as he owns some old Morrises (later than the Minor, though).

Thank you G o a b for that web site.

Jane I was very lucky to get a reply from the Museum. Since last November 2005 they have stopped replying to emails. You now have to mail or fax them.
Thank you once again for that emil address.

Have a nice day everyone
Gem
