Amazing!
I had a similar number of spots driving down the east coast of Australia (also in a Britz camper btw) but was mostly far too slow with the camera (not a day went by without seeing at least one sweet old car)

Fantastic photos, thank you for sharing.
Now the thing is.. I won a good few million* on the lottery a few weeks ago. How much do you think I could buy that scrapyard for?
