Metropolitan Police used Minor 1000 panda cars for a few years from mid-60s, including this lettering panel half on wing and half on door and this may be a genuine squad car. Corgi Vanguards did a 1-43 model in 2004 of one example preserved in the Met police museum (VA05805, plate YYH 708H) to celebrate the Met's 175th anniversary. Unfortunately Corgi got the colour wrong, using a grey-blue, so reissued it in 2005 as VA05806 in the correct pale blue as here. Thumb is Oct54 onwards Minor S2 with split windscreen. Also a Bedford Beagle estate, Mk3 Zephyr 4 and a blurry early Porsche 911/912. |
