Nottingham 1953

Joe Watson attended Nottingham University in 1953 and can be seen here at the wheel of his 1934 Minor Sliding-head Saloon (BPF 706) outside the Hugh Stewart Halls of Residence in that city. His Minor was first registered in Surrey during the spring of 1934 just a few months before production of the model ceased. Alongside his 19 year old Minor are parked two motorcycles, a 1914 Levis and a 1935 AJS, further examples of student transport at that time. Joe reports that he sold the car some time later to a buyer in Rossington, Yorks but suspects that it didn’t survive too long after that.
