I have been there in 2007! Great to see all those cars there in real life. The guy told us to bring enough water when entering the property. |

Got some pics of the second Bradford in the undergrowth whilst I was there yesterday   The reason why it's dead in the first place  The main reasoning for me to tramp through the undergrowth and get nettle stung several times is to locate the body / chassis ID plate and the registration number if possible - all three were still there - this info I then pass on to the club registrar for the model and the records can be updated - boring but all part of a clubs existence in being able to prove what survives / what does not survive  |

I will rebuild the engine if you do the body and my wife has the gardening skills

Was abandoned but no longer is. The "last" Mini to leave Longbridge.   According the write up it was used as a plant runabout and some thing got dropped on it so it was stripped of anything useful and then hidden in the tunnel with only 11 miles on the clock. |

Heard similar but it had something dropped on it and was hidden away to avoid trouble . Would not surprise me as figures and parts etc were not counted as much if at all back then.

I can smell these things y'know 1 and 2 half CRX shells on a farm I did some work on.  |

Around the back of the farm where I work, there's a light grey Ford Anglia, white 1968 Ford Corsair 2000E and AC Invacar tucked away in some eccentric country bumpkin's ramshackle yard - obviously been there for yonks, rusting away, although the Anglia at least has a decent tin roof over it.
Alas, couldn't get any pics, as they are so hidden by a barbed wire wire fence and brambles, etc. - I couldn't even read the number plates on the Anglia.

This probably isn't abandoned as such, since according to DVLA: MOT Expires: 22 May 2019 So, just been MOTed, although it is SORNed... |

I know, I just had it MOTd it for the first time in about a decade. It was a bit of a struggle getting the garage door open!
