They are too busy nicking phones these days. Nicking wheels would involve their most hated 4 letter word, "work".

Spotted on Thai FB Marketplace. Described as 1974. Looks like it might have has an interesting history. Usual Thai bodging with the lights and half an inch of filler on everything.





Its all yours for an astonishing 75,000 Baht.

You'd wish.

You'd pay £1700 for this in a land where a beer and fresh cooked green chicken curry will set you back less than £2.50.

Cars can be pretty expensive, but Thai sellers also have deluded ideas of value.

The coupes do look nice, though that one should lose the leaper.

Last one built April 71, and that numberplate is from August 71- one of the very last built?? Might have some value there...

Wasn't there some weird business with the Forces (possibly the Royal Navy) stockpiling Morris Minors when they were coming to the end of normal production? I'm sure I've heard something about a load of ex-Forces Minors ending up on late-seeming civilian numbers after being demobbed and going through auction. Would also account for the car being blue.
