The Pre war minor network has its annual rally every year in June in UK,
At the recently concluded rally , I was awarded the very first " Brian Maeers" trophy , named after a Morris minor enthusiast for life and great friend of the marquee.



The trophy is for the " Minor enthusiast of the year" , I was chosen also because of finding/spotting around 20 previously unknown minor survivors in the sub continent ,previously un known to the club.

Unfortunately I could not be present for the rally there as I am in US right now.

Many colonial bungalows, especially in hill stations Mahabaleshwar and Lonavala had solid flower pots placed at heights in the property. It could be one of those. Attached is a reference image in Mahabaleshwar.

Thank you so much for the picture, but I would request you to email me the same without the neon, please. The shadow to the right looks like a Pillar with a light dome, possible from the gate to the driveway.

I have very limited knowledge about the registration numbers and am confused with the " X" series.

Here is a screen capture of my picture with the Brian Maeers Jug and the little morris, which can be now seen on prewarminor.com

The X series should correspond to Bombay in the 1920s.

Now here is another picture of a X series Morris Minor , photographed at the gate of Srirangapatna fort, Mysore. So was this a Bombay car in Mysore ?

In all likelihood, yes. It is unlikely that Mysore followed the X series, more excellent examples on the subject can be found here

This is awesome , Karl . Though I had received an image of the front cover earlier, thanks to Harit uncle. This is the first time I am seeing the rest of it.

I am going to send this to the PWMN.

Far from it. I think its just poor lighting and a mobile camera that makes it look aged
