The grille appears to have screws holding it on.
Must have been a de-luxe model with the full hub caps and white wall tires.

.

Werewolf aka Billy Bob:

l remember full well the Petes’ Police Car smoke bomb attack

It was scary to say the least, I really thought car was going to catch fire

It was at Clearwater Beach FL as l recall, the last time l saw David Weber, remember him ?

and at the same time, Mike Priest had the “puck” camper trailer parked outside my motel room, l think it was Mike & Joyces’ final good bye tour

and the night before The German wannabe cowboy  Thie Volker Had  to walk 15 miles home to Big Bobs as he missed his ride, in cowboy boots no less

 memories

Its the stock Morris grille for Mk1 cars from 59 to 67.

It was painted white up to '61 when it was then chromed.

Car engines make CO2 and trees absorb CO2. By running your engine you're feeding a tree and helping the environment.

it looks like the Mini was an early one with the pressed grille and full front valance, right?

Hello,
I know that Minis were used as police cars all over the UK....but here in the USA? I stumbled upon these pictures (in Nevada) and was wondering if any of these cars still exist,
cheers,

Abel
