Abandoned C reg Morris Minor spotted in woods near Warwick

Post by ojay »

Out cycling this weekend and saw in undergrowth on the edge of some woods a dilapidated rusting dark red morris minor with original number plates. Chassis and wheels look intact. I'm not currently an enthusiast myself but joined this forum to let you know. Get in touch if interested.

Sorry for late reply. It was up Wedgnock Lane in Warwick. If you want some help finding it then please reply and can arrange to meet nearby. It's not far from a farm so maybe the property of the farmer - don't know.

Wedgnock Lane hasn't been 'Streetmapped' yet either!
Glad to be back!

Wedgnock Lane starts at the bottom of Primrose Hill in Warwick. If you use Google Maps you'll find it...cheers

If anyone want to look at it and needs a second opinion - I'm happy to go along.

Re: Abandoned C reg Morris Minor UPDATE

I found myself with a bit of spare time this morning so I've tracked down the vehicle.

I also managed to drop a phone number for the owner and if he calls back then I will ask if he's selling and how much......although I'd imagine it would have to be pretty cheap![frame]Image[/frame]
