	I've been lurking this forum since forever, even been registered but never posted. Time for a change and to barge in with my first post, here's some rust. It's an old citroen/micro car dealership and they usually have some interesting motors in display, some more rusty than others. Although the unimog has been there a long time.

	Saw this on my travels yesterday. Pic from streetview. Shows the car has been there since before 2008, but was under a cover. No idea what it is though.

	Looks like a Clan Crusader. A kit car based on a Hilman Imp.

	It's close, but not quite. The door kick at the front is a sharper angle, and the back window on that Clan looks like it's supposed to be there as opposed to an after thought. Rear is flat on the abandoned one, not angled.

	smellyferret was close, since it is related to the Clan Crusader: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clan_(car)#:~:text=The%20Clan%20Crusader%20is%20a,rear%2Dmounted%20875%20cc%20engine. (Albeit even goofier-looking!)

	A friend of mine who lives in Crawley just sent me this. It’s a neighbour that lives a couple of doors down from her. The old boy is a hoarder and has had multiple knocks on the door from people wanting to buy it, but he’s not interested

	This recycler has a contract with the county, they bring in the abandoned cars and they crush them. The camaro they were pulling while I was in line was in pretty good shape. Oh well. Bonus content as my taken apart in 1990 to restore beetle met the same fate.

	My buddy just pulled this out of a swamp in Florida and brought it to me in North Carolina yesterday. No longer abandoned! In West Virginia now and should be home in 5 hours or so. Edit: back home in my storage while I acquire parts and til I’m ready for it

Nice to see it’s finally got a decent looking coat of paint, even if the interior looks worse than when I sold it 😂. Despite the gawky looks they’re a nice capable car to drive, and more comfortable than a proper Mini on a long run; ours had cobra recliners at the time and we took it to Santa pod a couple of times and it was great, just a pain to get in cos the sills are so high. Sold it on here for a few hundred quid as it was a bit tatty, it’s been on eBay a few times never for less than 5K 😩

	These are the ones I don't understand. I took a pic of the TR7 a few years ago. It was on a trailer then and looked freshly painted. It then moved from the trailer and doesn't appear to have been touched since. Now they've dumped an old Caddy behind it.
