It’s actually 723 (starting handle is in the way)
OA = West Midlands
This is a sad case - the pub-chain owner thinks that having classics outside his pubs increases the charm-factor, but as we all know, older cars don’t last well outside. A few years ago, this car replaced an initially very good-looking Morris Minor van which was destroyed by the elements over a decade or so, and although this Austin looks ok now, that's after a tidy-up last year - before that, it had flat tyres and was covered in green mould, and probably has overall damage (interior and engine internals) from condensation, too.

Explains why 123 wasn't on Cartell. 723 is there.
Cheers.
Interesting coincidence in reg though for my assumption. Ha!
It's on a footpath. And no doubt hasn't been imported and had VRT paid. Would be a decent guard now to "drop in" on that.
Should be towed and stored.

An aul lad I know tried to buy that car for reasonable money at auction recently... the bids kept going up, and up and up till he called it a day. He ended up buying one over in the UK.0 -

That's awful alright - probably not many of these left? Even though I live relatively nearby in South Dublin, I've never been at this spot before and assumed the Austin was a regular runner from how clean it looked and a few elderly lads were examining it as well. Also saw the Goatstown Anglia recently on Google Maps.
Is it a Morris Minor that's been decaying outside Johnnie Fox's?0 -

That R11 looks in superb condition. He loves the car so much, he painted his house in the same colour
