1960 Minor 4 door saloon

I seek some advice. I own a 1960 Morris Minor 4 dr saloon. It has been in the ownership of my family since new and I have the original documentation (rf60) and the service history. It was in regular use by my elderly aunt until 1971, she then left it in a lockup garage until it was discovered in the early nineties. The mileage was 34000. I put the vehicle back on the road and it was used occasionally, but put back into store in 1998. The current mileage is 36500. The vehicle is all original, the engine was run about a year ago. It would be the basis of a sound renovation. I do have some pictures of when it was last on the road, but when last inspected it was covered in general grime and detritus that happens in an old barn.
It was always my intention to do a renovation but I no longer have the facilities to do so. Any advice as to how I dispose of this vehicle would be welcome

Moved from "cars for sale", as it's a plea for advice, not a sale :D

By 'dispose of it' what do you mean exactly? I take it you want the car to have a secure future, i.e restoration? If you want to give the Minor away for free you can do so easily here (assuming you are in the UK). You may also want to sell it, although it's value depends on how easily it can be brought back to life. Generally speaking a car which hasn't run for 8 years will need a bit of work and won't be worth much. Or you could try E-Bay.
