Mikey,

What luck! Great looking ads, would like to see more.

Having a look into the cars "past" is a great part of owning a Morris Minor, or as a Jaguar owner at British Car Day recently called my car "A good CHEAP car" (his wife rolled her eyes) .

There are a few photos of HJB800 in London and on Holiday in England in my collection. Great fun!

Marc

Somehow I can't see wellies, jeans, suit jacket and trilby coming back into fashion, if they ever where :o

Owing a Police "Panda" I suppose you can say that there's many owners.
I too was speaking to a woman while attending a local show. This lady told me of her first experiance with police pandas. As it turns out She was the first WPC in the Cardiff Police Force (later to become South Wales Police) to be able to drive these cars. She was given her keys and told to report to the carpark for the newspaper photographer. After a few photos she started up her car and selected a gear. She reversed into the inspector's car and have never lived it down with her fellow police officers.
Since meeting her again this month. I have offered to let het drive her old car out somewhere. She is now excited at that thought.[frame]Image[/frame]
