I worked in the production typing pool at Morris Motors, Cowley, and posed as a model alongside one of the cars produced at the factory.
Two photographs of me with a Morris Oxford appeared in the company’s Teamwork magazine in 1956 and the one, right, was published in the Daily Mail’s review of the 1960 Motor Show.
The saloon version sold for £815 14s 2d, the de luxe model for £844 0s 10p and the traveller for £919 0s 10p.
I believe the pictures were taken in the grounds of a house owned by the man who owned Brooke Bond tea at Goring, near Reading.
