Sunbar ◊ 2010-08-29 20:29	Before the bonnet handle with (round 'M') badge so before Series II, so I think series [MM]. Needs further confirmation.
chris40 ◊ 2010-08-29 20:35	You could well be right, Sunbar, but going by the registration it must be one of the last [MM]s. (At this time British registrations in films were usually genuine.)

Minor Tourer was still fitted with Morris 8 engine until end of February 1953, when last Series MM Minor built after which I think the bonnet handle was introduced.
