Fully dead rather than dying.

That'll be a local landmark by now.

"Excuse me, could you tell me where John Smith lives?"
"Yarp. Down past the pub, over the bridge, take a left after the Land Rover".

First off, apologies for the crap photo, it s from a distance and height ..I think the brownish car behind the tree is an MGB, happy to be corrected, it s been in this yard for at least a year, this is in North Toronto, so we don’t see many decent old cars.

Correct era but no. Any other takers before I upload an easier angle?

I believe the red car is an Opel Ascona? (at least that's what it was known as in SA)

1980 ish..

Saw this on Facebook:

I ve put up a couple of that Roller before. And yes, it s a green S3 I think. It s in March, Cambs.

Went past it today - the S3 is blue, not green.

Looks a bit Cortina / Taunus Estate to me. Mk4 / Mk3?

Maybe doesn’t fit everyone’s definition of a classic, but, certainly fits everyone’s definition of rotting. MOT expired in 2010.

Guess there is a sad or lonely story behind the bungalow.

Is that a V40? I had a purple P reg 2.0 litre brand new in January 1997. I really liked it.

Yup, 1998 V40. Gov.uk has it as Mot'd until 2015, not 2010 as stated above:

Taunus TC1 estate.

( Long door handles so not a Mk4 )
( Heavy swage line on front wing / wheel arch means it is not a Cortina Mk3 ).

I can confirm you are correct.

That’s in Postcombe by the M40 - a local landmark about a mile from STR8SIX.
