Lagonda 3ltr saloon according the internets. Looks like a stalled restoration, probably too expensive to follow through and too much sentimental value to part with it I expect. I hope it gets saved one day, they're a very pretty car.

The guy who has it now wanted the wheels it had but as they would not split bought what remained. Wheels removed - car abandoned in the corner-with another one since cut up and weighed in  Only 250 of these made. |

Some people are like Slinkies - they serve no useful purpose, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them downstairs.

I'm 99.9% sure the black one is a Mk3 Ford Zephyr/Zodiac.

They look grim, though the Morris Minor M.O. looks to be an early one due to that split screen and the rear light that's left.
I'm trying to figure out where these are actually dumped, it looks like a place you'd find actual trolls.

wow where is that Forest? I love looking at burnt out cars trying to figure out what they are, also makes me very sad and annoyed as normally they are stolen and were once some ones pride & joy Right car identification time: First two pics = MG Metro Third and forth = Ford Fiesta mk1 Supersport (i think!!!) 1st burnt out = Peugeot 306 2nd and 3rd don't know 4th Burnt out: Vauxhall Corsa Combo van, Ford Fiesta mk3 at the back 5th + Toyota Supra mk2 (i think) one on its roof = Vauxhall Corsa or Astra (i think) one in tree = Vaxhall Astra mk3 estate and a Vw Passat estate Ford escort mk 5 and Ford Fiesta mk3 final one = Renault Laguna I could happily spend all day in there trying to identify stuff! |

No idea what this is: That's a Snow Trac - www.absoluteastronomy.com/topics/Snow_TracI actually thought these were a made up thing that Lesney made a toy of (I've got a toy one in the collection) so I'm a little bit excited to see that they're real! I'm sure I posted these pics somewhere earlier in this thread but here's another one , in Alston   |
