I came across these on I farm I was at. . The farmer didn't know the story of the Morris, but the older car was his grandparents which they had from new. One day is hopefully going to restore it. How sad
That looks identical to my first car that I bought in the late Eighties.Edited by alangtt on Sunday 6th April 10:12

Not to mention using it in France for 5 years without registering it there. A bit of a non-non, no?
Also, will that have been converted back to chrome bumpers from rubbers?
And with illegal, non-reflective number plates! Crush it!!Also, will that have been converted back to chrome bumpers from rubbers?

Why is it that people will store a car for decades, in a barn or garage, or outside under a lean to or a cover, but they leave the windows open?
It seems to me that every barn find would have a mint interior, if someone, anyone over the decades would've wound the bloody windows up!
I think its probably kids playing over the years that play or hide in such cars, they play but mostly never clean up ;-)It seems to me that every barn find would have a mint interior, if someone, anyone over the decades would've wound the bloody windows up!

The Austin 7 looks in pretty good nick to me, (there is an identical one that has never been restored in my garage at the moment). Easy cars to restore once the body is sorted and most bits are available new if needed.Edited by alangtt on Sunday 6th April 10:12
I reckon a careful clean and a bit of fiddling that would be up and running quite quickly.
