Abandoned Morris Minor 1000 (2)

Front offside quarter view of a grey Morris Minor 1000 Series III 4-door saloon [ADO59], which sits abandoned and neglected, slowly being reclaimed by nature in a field in rural North Yorkshire, U.K. The car had no registration plates, but it is a model built anywhere between 1956 at the earliest (first year for the 1000) and at the latest 1961 (the last year for side-mounted semaphore-style ‘trafficators’).

 

Examples of abandoned, derelict and neglected true old-style classic and vintage vehicles of the 1940s, ‘50s and ‘60s are becoming an increasingly rare sight in the U.K. However, these pictures of this old Moggie prove that old finds are still out there, in the year 2024!

 

The iconic, long-built Morris Minor is one of the most common classic cars in Britain, and as such - is one of the more frequently sighted in various stages of disrepair. So far, I have snapped all these other examples on my travels (and this is not counting the ones I did not have time to snap!):
