Minor in Hungary.

I have just finished reading Noel Barber's book '7 Days Of Freedom' - The Hungarian Uprising 1956. ISBN: 333 14943 2.
On page 215 there is a reference to Joan Fish The British Consul in Budapest using her Morris Minor to fetch food from the Austrian frontier during the uprising.
I have no more details of the car in question - maybe someone on here has more details?

Pretty sure that it was the Sunday Times that commented on this a few years ago. Can't think how else it would sound so familiar. Or maybe the BBC....

The last published reference to Hungarian Uprising I have come across is the obituary notice in the telegraph of John Sadovy who was a photographer at the time of the uprising and possibly his most famous !!!!!! photos were of the cutting down of several Avo secret policemen outside their headquarters.
See the 1st photo of the sequence in the link below
