I've been trying to sell this thing for someone here at work for about 3 
months now.  It's just racking up storage costs, and we are getting 
desparate.  (I am not a used car dealer--this is a personal favor for a 
coworker.)  Reply off list if this interests you.

1955 Morris Minor in Seattle.  It is a split window, cheese grater grill 
version.  Green.  Body in OK condition.  I personally have only seen it from 
outside of the storage yard fence.  Looks decent, bodywise though.  Right 
hand drive.  Owner says that it should run once the combustion chambers are 
cleared of inhibiting oil put in there when he prepped the thing for storage 
3 years ago.  Quite frankly, I think that after 3 years, the pistons may now 
be frozen....  This has been out on traderonline for a long time now, and 
about 5 people have looked at the car.  They either all see something there 
that they don't like or something, because no one has made an offer.  I have 
heard that minors are notorious for rusting their floorpans out... perhaps 
(I don't know) thsi has happened.  I don't know if it's been outside long, 
but it has been outside for the last 3 months.  Anyway $1000 obo...  I am 
now thinking like $750?  I would buy it, if I thought it looked good, but 
quite frankly, they're sort of UGLY!  A face onlly a mother (or someone who 
used to own one..) could love?  I got my roadster recently as well.  I can 
only work on one car at a time---says my wife.
