Interesting above - A March 59 on, Left Hand Drive, Morris 1000, with a London registration, pressumably in Germany. The car no longer exists on DVLA's database.

I don’t know why you insist on cropping the crap out of these old photos. They tell a story, and there’s a lot going on in this one.

Here's another interesting prototype.

In 1950, Nordhoff decided VW needed to diversify, and offer a model below the Beetle, so Hastner devised this three-wheeled
prototype that used a two-cylinder VW engine. Beetle sales were picking up so rapidly at this point that plans were abandoned.
