Wow, I just saw the other picture of this on Flikr, do you know the story behind it? Was it subsequently resuced and restored by Volkswagen?

The Russians took 13 Auto Union racing cars to Moscow in 1945. Bits of them went into various sports cars. There's a lot more information on it by the gurus on TNF

Indeed, one of the very few American cars I like.

Florida Keys a couple of years ago. Unfortunately flood damaged.


My back yard. I gave the Wedge away to stop any more deterioration.

Just to resurect this thread, this one is parked in the open, no garage or cover... very sad to see

There was an old Lancia Trevi Volumex VX near me:

The whole site's been cleared now, but seeing those words on the bootlid, and then the big empty engine bay, were really upsetting.

I used to live down the road from this one in Edinburgh. Been there for years, outside and uncovered, and looks worse in the flesh.

Also, there is a pretty forlorn looking Citroen SM under the cover here; it used to be open to the elements. Interestingly I was having a look at similar abandoned car stuff on YouTube a while back, and spotted a photo of it in a video, amongst the huge amount of rusty Americana; my colleague gave me a disbelieving look when I recognised it, but good old Google Maps confirmed my claim!

I would do VERY bad things to find one of those like that today - rare as rocking horse poop..

1 post in 33 months.... But a good one, what a shame, would make a great car

Spot on - an S2 (Renault power) Europa, pm me some details - always interested in cars in need if only to pass on to others. My Twink was a similarly neglected and "not for sale" proposition, my trailer and an envelope of cash suddenly seemed very exciting to the then owner ;-)
