This 1960s' Morris Minor has been in the family for many decades. It's been parked here for the past 25 years or so which has enabled a magical woodland to grow around and across it.
I did get some interest from Morris Minor collectors who would like to take it away to restore. Two problems with that are (a) the need to chop down a tree that has grown and boxed it in and (b) the fear that removal may make the car collapse completely- it is held together mostly by rust, moss and ivy.
For many years it's been a storage space for old carpets and toddlers' toys. But that's not all - if you look closely you may see a little of the bonnet of another Morris Minor behind it! - in a darker shade of blue.
It makes for a choice of photo that I could not resist posting for September's City Daily Photo theme day of Rust and Ruin.
It makes an interesting garden sculpture. :))
ReplyDeleteI think it adds something to the garden! Great choice for today's theme.
ReplyDeleteWish I photographed this one. Ruins it is.
ReplyDeleteVery nice for theme of the month.
ReplyDeleteOh my! Two rusty old ruins, how fabulous Chrissy!
ReplyDeleteGreat shot, Chrissy!
ReplyDeleteIt looks quite pretty. I think it should stay for ever as a sculpture.
ReplyDeleteThat's quite a shade of blue! Really startling... fascinating.
ReplyDeleteA good choice! I think you're right- trying to remove it would bring it down.
