Bristol Constabulary Morris 1000 for Sale (2026)

I felt this deserved to have it's own post rather than just listing it under my "eBay archive" section. 

I've previously included some information about these Bristol Constabulary 'panda cars' under my post "British Police Vehicles". These Morris 1000 panda cars were introduced to Bristol Constabulary in 1968, including the over-sized roof sign. I also included a photo of this particular vehicle, registration XHU 541H, which I believe is the only surviving example from Bristol. 

It sounds like it needs a fair bit of work to have it roadworthy again so probably a 'labour of love'. I really hope it finds a buyer who is able to bring it back to it's former glory and therefore preserved for the future. It seems to me there's much less money around in the UK for such projects, especially compared to countries like the USA. I've seen lots of videos from the US of vintage Police cars restored to a high standard. There's so few vintage Police cars still roadworthy in the UK that you see the same few being used on multiple British television dramas. 

After a starting price of £1,895 the auction closed with a winning bid of  £2,950 on 3 April. However, to my surprise after a few hours the vehicle was re-listed for another 10 days. Here's a link to the new listing.
