This model joined by Collection this past July, while I opened it up to take a look when it arrived. I haven't done anything with it since. As I continue to go through my acquisitions in the last few months, this one was a real treat to open up and take a closer look.

Here's a couple of quick shots w/the roof sign and the Special Edition signed card.

Morris Minors appealed to me from the first one I saw sometime in the fifties.

I've spotted a few on our walks in England and Wales but never a lilac one!  So I 'had to get one'!

Very cool.  It's so tempting but I am sticking to my American cars only rule - till I don't.

@whodeytink This was an LE of 50 last summer. Doubtful any remain.

Yes, as well, and these two remain in my garage and in regular, if not daily use, to this day.  The convertible, family owned since June 29,1960, and now with 194,621 miles.  Both have within 20 miles of each other in total mileage on the clock!
