Classics left to die/rotting pics

[gforceg]

What an odd setup. Well tended garden and house with a bunch of wrecks outside preventing use of the horseshoe type driveway.

The Corrados haven't had MOTs since 2008 and 2010.

a bit spooky...

[Robin Hood]

The red rot box looks to be a TR7, wonder what's under the cover or even in the garage.

[GTRene]

looks like a TVR Tasmin cabrio under that cloth?

[cahami]

All looks a bit fake to me no weeds growing under the cars well kept house as said before strange.

[V8 TVR]

I reckon its either a TR7 or Pontiac Fiero under the cover.

Came across this earlier today..............





..............i think its been there a while!

[Robin Hood]

Morris Oxford Series IV which went on to become a Hindustan Ambassador

[neutral 3]

The Morris bears a South East London registration number, such a shame it's ended up there....

[DarkMatter]

The Morris registration appears to be UOW 798, according to my memory and my 1964 "Obsevers's book of Automobiles" the OW registration was issued by Southampton C.B.C.

Saw this left to die in Dorset a couple of weeks ago. Sure hope someone will save it.

Looks like an ex-Forces ambulance on a Land Rover chassis according to DVLA. Built in 1976 and first registered in 1989 according to the records.

It's based on a Land Rover Forward control unless I'm much mistaken!

Land Rover 101 Forward Control radio truck, not an ambulance although there were a few built on the 101 chassis.

Radio Truck is correct. Roofline is too low to be an ambulance. this is a radio truck from the front offside...

and a better shot of the nearside...

The one discovered in Dorset appears to be a re-body or a registration number change, as OFX 67P used to be a GS (general service) 101...

Ambulance body, for comparison, showing the higher roofline and lack of side access doors...

Or maybe someone was naughty with chassis numbers/reg plates.
