MM037 -  Edition 2,000

1:43 Scale

 Morris Minor High Top Pink Paraffin

Who doesn't remember Aladdin Pink, known after the war as Pink Paraffin. The pink dye being added as a safety feature in order to prevent the paraffin being mistaken for other liquids. An uncoloured form was sold (much more cheaply) as 'White May'. All of the Minor variants are causing huge interest in the collectors markets and this van based on Leo Stewardsons vehicle from Rugby is sure to be as well received.

MORE INFORMATION

Re:Pink Paraffin van (MM037).
Leo Stewardson was my father (deceased 1988)
He bought the van at Measham Motor Auctions(Staffs) in the early 60s and used it initially for his antiques
business. It was later on that he used it for Pink Paraffin deliveries.It was re-sprayed and sign written by them.
I had the job of servicing and maintaining it and this is how I first got into Morris Minors.
P.S. The address should read Hillmorton Rd. not Willmorton Rd.
---- Regards, Bill Stewardson
