Photographing cars well is something I find difficult, so here I fell back on the detail rather than the whole, which for me works better.
I had wanted to go back and retake this shot, as I felt upon review I wanted a larger depth of field, so wanted to back with my tripod. Unfortunately the weather conspired against me the following nights (windy or wet) and then I had to return the X-T2 I was borrowing. I still like the overall composition, so I'll post the slightly soft version I have rather than nothing at all.
A classic Moggy from 1969, I love the exhaust note of the Minor. Desertmartin Parish Church Garden Fete & Vintage Rally 2025.

Every year, members of the South Wales Morris Minor Owners Club participate in a Poppy Day run.
Seen here at the Newport Transporter Bridge, South Wales prior to their run to St Magdalene's Church in Goldcliffe on the outskirts of Newport for a service.
The weather was unfortunately very wet, but that didn't seem to spoil the event.
I enjoy seeing cars in an unrestored condition.
Nevertheless, I hope that this Minor has a bright futire.

Sanguisorba minor (Salad burnet, Garden burnet, Small burnet, burnet) is a plant in the family Rosaceae that is native to western, central and southern Europe; northwest Africa and southwest Asia; and which has naturalized in most of North America. It is a perennial herbaceous plant growing to 40-90 cm tall, typically found in dry grassy meadows, often on limestone soils. It is drought-tolerant, and grows all year around.
It is used as an ingredient in both salads and dressings, having a flavor described as "light cucumber" and is considered interchangeable with mint leaves in some recipes, depending on the intended effect. Typically, the youngest leaves are used, as they tend to become bitter as they age.
Salad burnet has the same medicinal qualities as medicinal burnet (Sanguisorba officinalis). It was used as a tea to relieve diarrhea in the past.
It also has a respectable history, called a favorite herb by Francis Bacon, and was brought to the New World with the first English colonists, even getting special mention by Thomas Jefferson.

Can you believe your eyes? Do you see what is happening here? We had guests over last night, and Magnus quietly laid on the floor basking in our friend's loving. Granted, these are people who come over virtually every week to visit our beloved Bogart (and help fatten him up, hee hee), so Magnus "knows" them. But he's never interacted with them. . . until now.
Magnus was actually in his kennel because we thought a few more people would arrive. When no else made it over, we decided to bring out Magnus. My intent was to put him on his "place" (his elevated mat). But to get there required going right past our guests. So, when we got out there I very quickly saw that Magnus was calm. In fact, no one else noticed that he arrived (in other words, no barking). I sat on the floor and had Magnus lay down between me and our guest. Well, you can see how it went in the photos.
Granted, don't buy your airline tickets yet to come visit Magnus to give him loving. I think these were exceptional circumstances. Magnus already knew these people from sitting on his mat numerous times watching Bogart get loads of loving and treats. I'm just grateful that Magnus' behavior is improving. My presence right next to him allowed him to relax and enjoy some loving. . .
Yep, a minor miracle.
(Are any miracles minor?)

I suspect genuine Minor convertibles, which this one looks to be, are the rarest survivors of the model, because they ceased production a few years before other variants.

Habitat: sandy sea shore, among grasses and other tall herbs; locally flat terrain; open, sunny, dry place; precipitations ~ 900 mm/year, average temperature 12-14 deg C, elevations 6 m (20 feet), Sub-Mediterranean phytogeographical region.
Substratum: sandy soil.
Place: Adriatic Sea region, island Susak, sea shore about 200 m north of the harbor, Kvarner archipelago, Rijeka region, Croatia.
Comments (pertain to pictures in Flicker album Orobanche minor): Orobanche minor was a few hundred years ago a Mediterranean species. However, it was spread by men by agricultural trade almost all over the world. Today it can be found in the almost whole Europe, in Africa, Asia, America and New Zeeland. Although widely distributed, it is quite a rare plant. The possible exception is monoculture agricultural land where its hosts grow e.g. clover fields, where it can appear massively and can completely destroy the harvest.
This find is from island Susak in Adriatic Sea having a unique geology. The island is the only one among hundreds of islands along east shore of Adriatic Sea, consisting 100% from sand.
Orobanche species are very variable. Proper determination is not always an easy task. In addition, their appearance depends on their actual host. This heavily pertains to Orobanche minor since its hosts are many: several species of Trifolium, other Fabaceae as well as Asteraceae. However, the combination of traits of the plants shown here speak in favor of Orobanche minor: small to medium size plants with densely glandular pubescence, small flowers (compared to other similar species), tubular, only slightly inflated at the end, corolla with conspicuous violet veins near the upper lip, almost glabrous style with dark purple-brown two-lobed stigma, entire calix segments and long bracts.
