Re: 1953 Morris minor pickup in Lakelands MM

Is that the place where they have a selection of "Bluebirds" cars and boats? Always fancied a trip there might have to make the effort now I know theres a Minor there! Is it a "genuine" pick up? are they not supposed to have an extra ridge along the top of the body?
