Advert claims it's 1959
DVLA have it as 1958
Photos of rear lights, elephant trunk and keyed starter make me think it's at least 1964... possibly a Ringer on doggy plates??

Rotten as a pear too, I love the interesting angle the front end sits at.................

Mine has a slight lean to the right as well. More down to poorly adjusted torsion bars than rot though. I should have called her 'Eileen'

1964 or later. Not clap-hands wipers.

All of which begs the question of where the ID came from and is this the result of a series of ID swaps, whose trail might lead back to a stolen car (or cars), if it could be followed...…..
I see another Moggy, a series 2 split screen, was stolen not so long ago.

Comprehensive description " Vehicle will need to be trailered away ".

P.S. Anyone in the area that might "wish to view" before purchasing???

10V engine 4/69 onwards if original to the car.
Walsall seems to be a hub of dodgy vans, so beware.

Seller might be legit; they have added to the listing:
On 04-Oct-19 at 12:07:12 BST, seller added the following information:
Please note this vehicle is being sold for spares only as it has been pointed out by two viewers of the item ( thanks guys ] that this is around a 1964 model.
Seems some people in the know have looked at it and possibly felt it was iffy.....

A whole rash of hooky ads for Minors on Fleabay today. The scammer took a break for a while, my guess 3 months in the big house. Exactly the same cars and MO as before. I've been reporting them but ebay should do more to stop these idiots.
