Re: New member
Welcome, you are clearly a man of great fortitude and possess an optimists sense of the absurd.
I believe this is indeed a Morris Minor, or at the very least part of one.
Do you intend to rebuild, or perhaps resurrect may be more appropriate, this poor dilapidated piece of British Engineering craftsmanship?

Re: New member
If its an original convertible not an aftermarket conversion, then its a pretty rare find. Ive got a 3 door split screen , though not a convertible, buts thats a rare find indeed
Personally, without being biased, I much prefer the split screen minors, much more character, and made from thicker, better quality steel, though looks like yours may need a bit of love

Re: New member
A split screen convertible is fairly unusual and quite sought after, especially if it is an original and not a saloon that's had it roof removed. Does it have an engine and gearbox? Is the interoir all there and what condition? Does it have a registration? All theses things will affect what it is worth. Most panels are available, trim is readily available and mechanical bits are easy. A well restored convertible should be worth from about £4000 upwards depending on the quality of finish.
Are you planning to restore it?
