[Free] Morris Minor free to good home
At work we have a non runner Morris Minor that we need to get rid of. Its all complete but will require a lot of TLC.
If you can take it away its yours we have the V5 so it just needs picking up. I will post some photos as soon as possible.
The only catch is you will need a crane as its behind a 8 foot security fence so you will need a crane to remove it.
Please message me with any questions and I will try to answer them
The car is located in Accrington if this helps.Stephen

hmmm interested in taking it away and doing it up but not sure about the crane.....
that possibly adds a few grand to moving it!
Is there no way of removing a panel in the security fence? I can winch it out if needed, so people don't need to push.....

That takes me back!! In 1972 I bought an MOT failure minor and that had to be craned out of the breakers yard and delivered on a flat bed. Paid £10.00 for it, spent another £10.00 on getting it through its MOT, ran it for 18 months then sold it for £25.00 - the only time I have made a profit on a car LR Discovery 4 XS pulling an Airstream 532 Caravan also own (since new) a 1996 MGF

You should be able to hire a hihab that would lift that quite easily I would have thought, especially if you can get the car close to the fence.
That is one like they use to lift illegally parked cars from the side of the road.Current : Discovery 4 HSE (2012 spec)

speak to the nice lads that nicked my first D4 … they were really good at removing a section of the security fencing. .

Presumably the type of hiab that delivers shipping containers could lift her, ours were around £300ish and that was Essex to Sussex. Bloody auto correct DS3 TDV6 HSE - Silver with Alpaca (old one) Gone

Looks like a great project for someone though

It belonged to the owners mother and was put there for the dementia residents to sit in and bring back memories unfortunately all that happened is kids climbed the wall behind and started to mess around in it.Stephen

Some photos of the obstacles that are in the way
The wall behind goes onto a road but the shelter would need dimantling and there are trees above but it is the nearest point to the car.
