A40 Devon, by the length of the door. |

Early one without quarterlights. Plate is not GTB, GTE or GTF plates (all 1946+, Lancashire) or GTP (1952 Portsmouth), but GTR (Southampton, late 49) should fit. |

A reference in "British Family Cars of the Fifties" says that quarter lights and separate sidelights appeared at the same time. Obviously not. |

Glass's has sidelights May 49+, quarterlights Sept 49+. |

All of which, including the messing about with the Morris Minor(s) shows the parlous state of the British car industry at that time. -- Last edit: 2017-02-02 21:07:28 |
