Should we scrap an old car that hasn't moved for 25 years?

I was wondering if you had any ideas to help with my dad's car. He owns a Morris Minor Traveller that has not been used for about 25 years. It is parked on the drive but has been gradually rotting away and there is no possibility of moving it on its own wheels, and will probably not be able to be towed on to a trailer without falling apart, though I don't think it would even move like that. He's now been taken into hospital and if he is to move back home it will have to be moved in order for some work to be done to facilitate this. Any ideas about how we can remove it would be gratefully received.

Don't scrap it. This car will be worth something to someone somewhere. Get in contact with the Morris Minor Owners' Club (www.mmoc.org.uk/) as they might be able to help.
