The miniature few saw: on its way back to Purfleet after just one day in use with Mini-based MRM1 at Southend Pier, Morris Minor 1000-based miniature open-topper Q597 VOE takes a piggy-back under the cover of darkness as it passes through Leigh-on-Sea.
Acquired to supplement MRM1, it was found to be an extraordinarily awkward vehicle to use and so made just a single appearance.
