First year of production. Body number is 1814, does that mean it is the 263rd Morris Pick Up built (they started with chassis number 91551). In 2018 the 1959 Register only knew of 9 1961 Pick-Ups worldwide, so I guess the high price is justifiable as you are very unlikely to find another '61 Pick-Up.

It turns out it does not have a V5c or it seems any other documentation. No mention of that on the listing. That makes the price even dafter.

I think a fair bit of the Wiltshire registration records survive, so might be possible to pair up the plate with the car again if it missed computerisation.

Seems it’s been sold though anyway, so someone liked it.

It isn't the first time it has been offered for sale, so clearly didn't find a buyer previously ;)

Swindon archives survive. I recently received a photocopy of my 66 sdl original registration journal book.

As with a lot of 3D printed stuff that doesn't look great.

It'd make me feel a bit queasy having to look at that every time I got into my pride & joy.
