Dead ringer for one of my teachers at middle school in the '70s...! :o

I've just posted this elsewhere and noticed the lovely BMC / Morris sign in the background... Piccadilly in 1965...

Soho, 15th March 1966, two tone Elf or Hornet partly obscured by the little FIAT...

Somewhere in London in '68, nice blue & white Mk1 on the left...

No, it's not Margo Ledbetter in her swinging youth but there's a nice glimpse of a '66 Mk1 Morris 850 with a dented bumper, 9th September 1968...

It may have been a police car - lots of Police Rover 3500 SD1's were specially built from 2300 cars with basic trim and no self levelling rear suspension. JOF is a Brum number plate.

Watch 'Robbery' and you can see the 100 mph speedo.

I sold it in 1999/2000 to a well known restorer of Minis. It has yet to resurface however.

It would be interesting to see what Heritage have down in the ledger for that one.

Last seen on a high street in Potters Bar or some such, and advertised in Motoring News @ 1974 for not a lot.
