Found these This afternoon whilst on a walk past a local Brook . I'm not sure what they are from But Look Full Leather shame really as they look in Pretty Good Condition   Thats a very sad sight for the environment  It’s even sadder for the cows that died to cover it 🤦🏼♂️ |

How about this slice of Midlands gold? 1989 Rover 827Si...  Bit of a cheat, mind. It's not abandoned anymore, as I've bought it. 19k on the clock, incredibly solid (no, really) though is need of serious recommissioning. Chris Got my email from car and classic this morning and thought I recognised that car. Well done on saving it. |

Not strictly abandoned but looking rather sad    I also stumbled upon what I think is a brace of old Alfa's( no pictures yet but I will take some ) And a rather unloved Cortina and some unknowns Infront of it again no pictures but will grab a few next time I'm passing that way |

There is another Mercedes in the same carpark that looks unused I'm not up on Mercedes so not sure the model. Also the silver one appears to have no MOT or Tax according to Reg check

This has been sitting in the same spot since my school days, I’m touching 40 now It always makes me think that its a shame that they didn't save something better. If this had been a MK1 Mini Cooper S it would be worth a fortune even if rotted into the floor. As it is its barely worth much more than its weight in scrap.
A friend of mine kept a Vauxhall Viva in a rented garage from the eary 1980's to around 2010, the landlord sold the garages off and it needed to be moved and so he sold it for £200 to someone who cut the back axle out of it for a project and weighed the rest in for scrap, I dread to think how much he paid to store if for nearly 30 years, again if he had kept one of the minis he had it would have been worth something.

Yeah, I reckon if you try and shift it the subframe will stay behind as the rest of the car moves 😱 |

POST OF THE YEAR FOR ME IN THIS THREAD.AMAZING STUFF Moorhen Thanks grizz! So we’re done in this amazing treasure trove of automotive heaven. There’s been literally blood, sweat tons and tons of laughter 😂We’ve stood in amazement at what was in the next shed, scratching our heads as to how the hell are we going to get that out. As you can see some of them didn’t come out whole and some certainly weren’t as good as first thought but we’ve had a great time and that is what it was about for me, I’ve lived around the corner from this place for 15 years and always tried to have a peak when passing but never did I imagine what was actually hiding inside! The place was originally a garage serving the local area and the mini van was the guys work van. Yesterday we were allowed into the workshop and the stuff that’s in there would blow your mind. There’s thousands of tools, parts, new and used literally anything you could imagine that would be in a garage. We will be going back at some point in the near future to help the new owner identify parts etc. I won’t go into details but things weren’t quite left as agreed when he bought the place! Rob. |
