Hiya. Just watched the Morris Minor DVD my Grandad gave me. It has a police minor on with the reg plate AUL 629H. I recognised it as being familiar to yours. It says their one is from Devon and Cornwall :)


Just J-j-j-jiggle it a bit.

Hate to say this but if it is devon and cornwall then they are pretty rare, fully restored worth £8-10K type rarity!

And how much is a full restoration roughly?

The one I know of was 5k and still looked great 5 years later. AUL is London however (http://potteries.mmoc.org.uk/Identify.htm) and Met Pandas aren't quite as rare!
