...or how to destroy in style. Recently spotted in the hall of the Museo Automovilístico Málaga, this unrestored yet not untouched (!) Morris Minor which has been forced to a static life after a passage through a scrap press. Another strange way of understanding the meaning of the word "art"? We couldn't ask the artist as he is anonymous. Well, perhaps this car would have never asked so much attention of the public, even in mint condition. Apparently all glass was removed before the crushing, and when checking the front end (photo 2) we have doubts about if the engine was also removed. The rear axle appears to be still there, as are all the dashboard instruments (photo 3). The wheels have been "saved" and were relocated when the "art work" was finished, as a last touch... So yes, there was more work involved with this piece of art than simply displaying a crushed Morris Minor.
