Summary

1953 Morris Minor Series 2 four door sedan
The first Morris Minor, the 'low-light' MM series with the headlights in the radiator grille, was introduced in 1949 with a 29bhp, 919cc four cylinder engine. On the 1952 Minor Series 2 the headlights were moved to the top of the wings to create the classic Morris Minor shape and a new higher revving 803cc engine introduced. The series 2 Minor was available as a 2 and 4 door sedan, convertible, van and utility. Note the split 'V' windscreen and 'semaphore' indicators on this car. . A BMC product.

We at GetArchive are exploring new methods of image metadata augmentation and verification. Our goal is to make it possible to find images on any topic. In particular, we are trying to verify and fix historic periodization. This collection is made of historic photographs of automobiles that look as if they were taken in the 1940s. The collection is made with aid of a neural image recognition network dealing with the whole image composition rather than with the car model - some cars may be dated incorrectly. Although, while this method is surprisingly good for the purpose of dating and tagging, a certain percentage of images (less than 8%) may not represent automobile, but other vehicle type or visually similar object. Naturally, our next step should be creating numerous datasets for a particular car years&models, but as of September 2022, we found no use to justify the effort.
