Phyllis Crane, who is a nurse in the TV series “Call the Midwife”  is the owner of a light blue-gray 4 door Morris Minor, albeit a newer version than the ‘52 Lansdowne model. Ms. Crane’s car has the one piece windshield and larger rear window. I noticed that the car does not have the semaphore  turn indicators. I wonder what year they went to turn signals.

According to my definitive Morris Minor book, the UK cars ceased using trafficators (semaphores) in late 1961.  Export cars to the USA ceased in December 1952 and went to flashing indicators.

I happen  to have a USA export 1960 car in my garage.
