Blimey, Vauxhall boneyard! Sad to see, I wonder what happened and how they all came to be there?

These people have always driven old bangers in the day and as they own the farm, it became a grave yard for them. The manta is cracking and the yellow opel has been on the road recently.

Do I spot a pa cresta in there Sure that parts are $$$ now if there's owt worth saving Its a Velox which is basically the same, so yes. And worse, its a unber rare estate. If Hell could manifest istself on earth, this is my idea of it. Love FC101 Victors. But as has been said, they would have been cubed years ago if they werent there. Get that Manta out, of thier though, and if that Senator is a 24v have the enigine out of that..... |

Authough i like seeing things like this, its a shame they never got to go out with a bang, someone could have got a good days racing out of them before they just got wasted in a field.

What's the rotted-out white one, sixth from the top? I can't work it out, doesn't seem to be vauxhall? Straight six motor though? Could it be an old granny or something?

Not straight, V.
Is it a Capri? Long bonnet, curve of the windows at the back?

I'll dig through the photos and try find if I got a badge . This is west of Glasgow and the whole farm is littered with "projects" that will never happen. As for saving the Manta - I love Mantas and am gutted to see this beauty fade away. I did try to speak to the Manta Club boys (up here) and also emailed them to try get someone to rescue it but no one responded to me or seemed bothered. Lets face it these guys are farmers and its their field so they don't care either way.  |
