Morris Minor Owners Club

Does anyone have any information on the following Minor pickups. Are they still about even if needing restoration?

Reg: PPA 443. Split screen pickup.

Reg: ROT 39. Full screen pickup.

All information greatly appreciated.

Phil, I have a ‘booklet’ of known survivors at 2001 (lcv’s) from here and abroad. I have looked through and although there are many pages listed, unfortunately the reg numbers you quote are not there. Whether since 2001 they have been unearthed I can’t help you with.

Many thanks for the reply.
The two pickups in question were owned by my neighbour. This morning he showed me a photograph of him and the split screen pickup.
The way he was talking he would like to have one of them back in his ownership if possible.

I would think they are long gone since neither show up on the DVLA database.
One of my past vehicles still shows, despite being Untaxed since 1992, so to not appear at all would mean being 'off the grid' for at least 30 years I would imagine...

Reg: ROT 39 was issued around March 1957, while Reg: PPA 443 was issued late 1950 / early 1951. Which seems odd, because I thought the pickup was only launched in October 1953. Either way, both vehicles would have been over 20 years old by the time DVLA were taking things over in the late 1970s, and commercials tend to have a hard life. My guess is they were probably scrapped by the early 1970s, but you never know, there are still are some amazing finds even nowadays

Checked POMMReg's database - despite listing 75k odd LCVs - entries only include vehicles where Chassis nos are known, which isn't much good.

If there were, approx. 327227 built, and 75k known what's the percentage.....?

It was a start, just trying to help. No better luck even with a comprehensive database then?
