 Mk2 Mini - 2-tone usually means Cooper, but grille looks like non-Cooper Morris.

 Why HK Police??

 The force was known as the “Royal Hong Kong Police” from 1969 until the handover of sovereignty, at which point it reverted to “Hong Kong Police”.


Ex Wikipedia:-

The force was granted the use of the title ‘royal’ in 1969 for its handling of the Hong Kong 1967 riots — renaming it the Royal Hong Kong Police Force.[9]

In 1974, the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) was created to give government wide-ranging powers to investigate corruption.[10] At the turn of the 1980s, the Hong Kong Police Force began marketing itself as "Asia's Finest".[11]

The recruitment of Europeans to the force ceased in 1994,[12] and in 1995 the Royal Hong Kong Police took responsibility for patrolling the boundary with China. Prior to 1995, the British Army had operated the border patrol. The force played a prominent role in the process of the handover of sovereignty in 1997 and continues to perform ceremonial flag-raising on each anniversary.[citation needed] With the handover of sovereignty, the police force dropped the prefix "Royal" from its name.

There's a police sign on the roof. Took me a while to see it.

Now you point it out ..... :whistle:

@mok - useful reference photo - confirms plain Morris grille. Looks unusually shiny and cheerful - most police Minis UK and elsewhere are plain details with minimum chrome.
