Seems like a late 64 or a 65 Morris 850.

Yes - not the best quality pictures I have to admit. The guy who found this lot is actually interested in the racing bikes (and supposedly 20+ motorbikes) that are in there.

I just saw the Mini in the background so asked him for more details.

He's been contracted to 'clear the rubbish' from that building before it is demolished so I await more information and have requested more detailed pictures.

Hard to tell anything from the above shots apart from that it looks to be a Morris car judging by the rear badge and certainly has external door hinges, door pulls and early rear lights. No drip channel on the gutter either by the looks of it, although hard to tell really (can anybody else make them out?) At least it doesn't look like it has been too wet in there and it has obviously been stood for quite some time.
