Morris Minor Owners Club

Hi all
I've inherited a I have a 'mostly' complete 1951 Minor - i say mostly, the only part i see missing is rear window. But maybe inside the car…ill check

Interesting reg,,,i have the log book

Car is in Greenhithe , North Kent

Been outside for a long time and is obvs a non runner. Do you think it would have value as a parts car or is it too far gone , and should i scrap it?

Well it’s not something I could work with but hope others might be interested, I mainly posted to thank you for thinking of us !

It is an early high light series MM, signified by the short bonnet so made first few months of 1951, so it is quite rare. If you use Facebook, contact the Series MM Register, as I'm sure there will be some interest in it. I wouldn't scrap it.
I've sent you a PM.

Series MM Register contact info is also available at https://seriesmm.mmoc.org.uk/ within the Series MM Section.

Yes, I wouldn't scrap/break it. People have restored worse looking cars than that and someone will want to save it. Its worth saving.....even if it takes many hours to do so.

Definitely would have some value as a parts car as some parts for early models are now difficult to get. Somebody might be brave enough to consider restoring it but that would be uneconomic and the number of people with the time and skills is falling.
Don't be taken in too much by registration number values. My understanding is that a car has to have a current MOT in order for the registration number to be transferred.
You could list it on this site for sale or in the club magazine or contact the specialists in the magazine perhaps.
It won't be worth a huge sum but somebody will want it.
