1968 Morris Minor 1000 Panda Car

This car was in a display of police vehicles at the Footman James Classic Car Show Manchester at EventCity in September 2018.

It's a 1968 Morris Minor 1000 Panda Car and has the 1,098cc 4-cylinder inline A-series engine. The Morris Minor Panda car was a common sight in the 1960s, though I understand that the first Panda car was a Ford Anglia and was black and white, not blue and white. I've come across this quote from a police source about the origin of the name 'Panda':

“A decision was made to take economical cars like the Ford Anglia and BMC Mini and give them a distinctive white band on both the front doors and the roof. As black was the first basic colour used they looked like Panda bears. For this reason we came up with the acronym “Patrol And Neighbourhood Deployment Area” Cars, although when Ford offered a substantial discount on their Anglia range we could only get them in pale blue and white."
