I must get mine back together sometime, I think these are very neat little post-vintage cars.

I am not an english citizen, but can write in english much better then the seller can!

I do not understand why people do not use any punctuation marks whatsoever!

However nice car!

Not to mention the overuse of capitals! Laughing
Nice little car though.

Shame the body has been mucked about at the back, though! (the '31 £100 Minor should have the spare wheel mounted inside the tail, and the bottom of the body should not finish with the flat bottom shown).

It's hard to see if the joining strips remain down the back curved sections, as on my '32

Agree, but it's not just that detail, Rick. The 1931 cars with scuttle-mounted petrol tank should have a pronounced tumble-home to the rear body:



It looks to me like the advertised car is an assembly of 1931/1932/1933 parts, and not a genuine original as claimed...
