"Just been looking through some records from my late father's (Tom Morton) filing cabinet and I have come across the log book for NK 9610 from 1948 to 1962.

Not sure if he (my father) owned it (the car) or not. This old log book was in its original envelope which was addressed to my father from the registration office dated 24/10/1964 when they issued a new log book, I can only presume that he must have owned it. "

"My father owned this car from 1957 to 1965, then he sold it (to a Mr Tom Morton) in 1965 for just £100 and he always regretted it as he would often say so. My mum and dad used it as their wedding car on 15 October 1960. I do have some more photos of the car which I will send you soon."
