Classics left to die/rotting pics

[texaxile]

I see this mustard coloured 3 wheeler every day along the woodbridge road in Ipswich. It hasn't moved for a while and is now green with mould, it does have a 3 number / 3 letter reg though, which I'll try to get later on. It's a pickup of some description with the single wheel at the front.

Hope the image view works, no idea what kind of vehicle it it either!. (You'll have to zoom in).

It's a Reliant three wheeled pickup truck with the 748cc engine.

Don't know if this one's been shown before?

Pretty sure it's been on before; no matter, S3 Clouds aren't exactly on every street corner.

The were called the Ant.

Not the prettiest of cars, but the 3 number / letter plate (it's MSU or perhaps NSU) must be worth a few bob even if the vehicle isn't.
It has been sat there for the last 6 years, sadly.

Looking very forgotten, dusty and very tired in the Monaco Casino underground car park.

Bit more rotten and a little less classic this morning. What do you think they were?

Some early commercial (obviously) but not a massive one with 8 stud split rims. Looks like they were twin but the outer pair have gone missing. The pinion coupling on the diff is puzzling me as I recognise it from way back but can't remember where from. I'm as baffled as the dog in the picture at the moment.

I'd love an SM Citroen.

The second one looks like the back of a pick-up.

Looks like a bit of a dog to me.

See more of these parked up awaiting attention than on the road

Not so much left to die but more caught in a fire.

Well that looks like a whole host of Triumph 1500's/Dolomites and SD1's completely frazzled...and an MGB GT.

What were the 2 cars to the left of the Dolly?



Bonnet line makes me think Piazza?

[Justayellowbadge]

Browsing on a tablet, I saw the first pic and thought Piazza, scrolled down to see you'd already answered it!

Plastic headlights?

[hidetheelephants]

Those are impressively ugly wing mirrors; were those designed by Lotus as well?

Spotted near Montpellier in France.

BMW 1602/2002.

[Spottedlaurel]

Can't remember if I've posted this one before, but I got another shot of it this week.

As it was in 2011:

DVLA suggests its last tax/SORN declaration expired in 2003. There was a tax disc in the window from 2002.

P.S. Shame about the Triumphs and Isuzus above.

It hasn't deteriorated outwardly anywhere near as much as you'd expect!

Indeed. Barely any rust on the body.
