Description
1970 Morris Minor 1000-Original Police Car
Reg. no. YYO 678H
Chassis no. MA255/1268739M
Engine no. 10MAUL23387
This model was introduced under the ‘Unit Beat’ Police scheme in 1967, this example was then subsequently ordered by the Metropolitan Police and according to a copy of the logbook, stamped New Scotland Yard. A retired policeman told the current vendor that it was one of their old cars at Holborn. The car even has its Police Pye radio and handset and the rare receiving instrument and rack in the boot. When restored, everything that was required to be done was carried out; however the engine bay was left original showing the original ‘panda’ paint. The original interior is in good condition, the headlining still retaining the zip allowing access to the roof box and any lighting. The sealed hole for the wiring can still be seen. In its current ownership this has been a prize winning car and a real ‘head-turner’, even becoming a ‘speed-reducer’ when parked in the street, or following another vehicle. In good running condition this car is now reluctantly offered for sale with a file of bills and paperwork that includes a V5c and a current MOT that expires in August.
