The Marina in that photo has a Surrey registration...

It's a Salford registration, second and third letters are RJ respectively. It would be odd for a Surrey registered vehicle to be used by the Manchester Police.

Fricsman, do you mean that you have a photo of the blue and white mini HJA 300N in the photo?
Sorry, no I don’t.

I have a photograph of 706F somewhere where it is in a later shell before it went to Belgium I believe. Photo was mid ‘90s when I bought my OKD restoration project.

Would be fantastic to see your photo of 706F Fricsman. I owned it in 76/77 - see my earlier post. I too believe it went to Belgium.

Yes the pub was the Eagle



After a quick search on the interwebs it looks like it was part of a council estate know as the Hulme Crescents in Manchester, built around 1971. As was proven many times, these estates soon lost their shine, this one being labelled the worst in England. Demolished started in 1991.

Pete's line up of Manchester Mk2 Cooper S are in fact JNB 1F, JNB 2F, JNB 3F and JNB 4F - the second policeman in the photo is my father. The photos were taken early 1968 in Birchfields Park, Fallowfield for the Manchester Evening News. As my father noted Manchester City Police cars always had good registration numbers because the Police were responsible for the VRO! I'll post another photo in the same series.
