Morris Minor Traveller 1953-71
1953 Morris Minor Traveller Estate introduced, based on the Series 2 Minor with a 30 bhp 803 cc engine. It had exposed ash framework, a hinged rear seat and a compartment beneath the boot floor housing the spare wheel and toolkit. October 1954 New horizontal grille fitted and sidelights moved to the wings. Body-coloured dashboard got a central instrument dial. October 1956 Renamed Minor Traveller 1000 with larger 948 cc engine, improved gearbox and single-piece windscreen. De Luxe models had over-riders, leather trim and a heater. September 1962 1098 cc engine introduced, plus revised gearbox, bigger clutch and larger brakes. October 1963 Toughened windscreen, larger indicators, longer wiper blades and larger rear lights. October 1964 Interior revised, with two-spoke steering wheel and combined ignition/starter switch. 1970 Saloon discontinued, but the popular Traveller stayed in production until 1971.
Going by the registration number this car is probably from about 1963.

Vintage Vehicle Show - 12th October 2014
Introduced, warm-season to yearlong-green, perennial herb; aerial stems annual, to 1 m tall.
Leaves are pinnate, 8–20 cm long and form a rosette; leaflets number 9–21, and are ovate, toothed and hairless; stipules are leafy, stem-clasping and toothed. Flowerheads are globose to ovoid spikes, 10–15 mm long. Flowers are unisexual; sepals 4, petals 0. Female flowers are borne above the male flowers. Male flowers have 4 stamens, sometimes with 1 or 2 stigmas. Female flowers have 2 carpels and sometimes 1 or 2 stamens.
Fruiting hypanthium are 3–4 mm long, 4-ribbed and strongly pitted between the ribs. A native of Europe, it is common on the Tablelands, especially along roadsides. A minor environmental weed. Easily mistaken for native Acaena species when not in flower; fruits of these species are spiny.
The wire only covered part of the structure, so I used some string to fill in the gaps - mainly to give me something to tie bags to.
This beautifully restored Morris Minor is stored not far from where I live and was out in the sun today having a clean.Photo by kind permission of the owner.

Comment (pertains to pictures in the Flickr album Orobanche minor): Orobanche minor is a widespread and quite common holoparasitic species (those that lost all the photosynthetic properties). It is present almost in all European countries (exceptions are Scandinavia and most-northeast countries), in Mediterranean countries of North Africa, in parts of Asia Minor and from Macaronesia to Arabian Peninsula and S. Tropical Africa (Ref.: 4.). Today it is introduced also to other continents.
Generally, to recognize plants belonging to genus Orobanche is easy. These attractive plants are strange looking, with very specific habit and flowers. However, on species level the situation is much more challenging. The reasons are several. Plants are notoriously variable in shape, color and size, they change radically their shape during anthese, they are difficult to study since they lose their colors in herbariums. Hundreds of varieties and forms have been described. 'Total' number of taxa in the genus varies enormously among different authors depending on their taxonomical approach. For some species there is still no agreement on the taxonomy. Consider this: length of corolla of Orobanche minor is described in Ref.: 2. as 10-12(15) mm long, in Ref. 1. as 6-10 mm, in Ref.: 3. as 10-19 mm and as 6-10 mm for one of its varieties (Orobanche minor var. maritima).
This find corresponds well to the characteristics traits of Orobanche minor as described in Ref.: 3.. The solitary plant is relatively small, slender, strongly glandular-pubescent and of 'proper' color (that means most common color). The calyx segments are unequally bidentate and almost filiform at the tip, the bracts are almost as long as corolla, corollas have distinct violet veins on pale-whitish-yellowish background, the upper lip is almost entire, the lower lip is tripartite consisting of unevenly crenate lobes of approximately equal size and the stigma is brown-violet. The plant parasites on many species of several genera, most often on clovers (Trifolium) but also on other legumes, peas and beans (Fabaceae) and composites (Asteraceae). In this find it parasitized Anthyllis vulneraria ssp. rubiflora. Its withered flowers can be seen on Fig. 5.

On display was this Morris Minor that was at the show.
In some of the photos there is Pink ribbon etc on the cars and people then judge the best car there with a little pink lady that is in front of the car. This was support for the Breast Cancer in Women.
