There are three paintings of this car which was a 1934 Morris 10/6 special, registration number YG6490. Bratby's paintings of cars, which include a white Cortina, red Volkswagen, the present Morris as well as his own Mercedes and the Lambrettas of the 1950's are significant. Consider them as the Kitchen Sink paintings of the road.
