"Barn Find"

Driving round Hereford recently I noticed this split-screen under some corragated iron outside a farm on Upper Hergest Ridge, near Kington. Looked good, but the spring-hangar mountings were rusted. Anyone know it? Own it? Perhaps we should have a Lonely Morris Club for Morrises looking for restorers. If it hasn't already found one, of course. [/img]<br>

Looks in pretty good condition to me, is it 2-door or 4?
I'd take it if I had the time, money and experience

Can't have been there for long, it looks in pretty good nick
Is it for sale? (Not that I am interested, as it is lacking in certain crucial attributes, viz a separate chassis and a box van back
