Morris 1800S Durham Constabulary replica Traffic Car, This 1970 Morris 1800s was replicated by Durham Constabulary some years ago to the exact specification of their Traffic cars deployed in the early 1970s. I purchased the Morris in 2009. The following work has been undertaken since that time:

A new Full Stainless Steel Exhaust system manufactured and fitted by ‘Longlife Exhausts’ cost £400 (includes receipt and guarantee). Fully refurbished petrol tank. New Dynamo, control box (Voltage Regulator), water pump, brake pads/shoes.

The Morris has a full complement of Police equipment including two tone horns, blue beacon, telephone handset, Pye Transistor Radiotelephone.The car is finished in striking Black and White livery (part of a Home Office experiment ) with “Police” decals on all 4 doors.

New parts are available at an additional cost which may be used to enhance the car's appearance. These include front and rear valence, bumpers and overriders.

The car is currently on ‘SORN’ status and previously passed its M.O.T. two years ago. A British Motor Industry Heritage Trust certificate accompanies the car.

Please note that strict rules govern the use of Ex/Replica Police vehicles on the Public Highway and the purchaser is advised to register with the ‘Police Car UK’ club in order to gain the full benefits of ownership.
