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

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 ).

Well I'll take that, considering the original image was end-on, distant and mostly hidden by a bush.

Interesting mix of dead cars in that field. I wonder what the back story is.

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.

As we often say on this thread - if that is whats outside, wonder what is in the garages?

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.

but what is that at the bottom behind that tree? ow wait you are mentioning a MGB perhaps

A Honda graveyard.
A couple of Legends on the footpath too, not dead or rotting, but I suspect the prognosis isn't good. I'd like to think the drivers aren't locked in the attic.

These marque specific car hoarders always fascinate me. They never seem to do anything with the cars. I could understand it if they were all functional or ongoing projects or they had a couple of spare parts cars. But they just seem to be happy to watch them all rot away outside their front door.

Fancy having a 944 AND a 928 rotting in your front garden

What is that thing behind the 928 ?

Looks like the mortal remains of one of those cheesy VW-based trikes.

I drove pas this again this morning - it's a trike as stated, up against a wall - front wheel nine feet off the ground!

If that's the only entrance, it would have to be that the silver Audi A4 failed first, and that is by far the newest car there and you'd imagine would go on forever. Neighbours must love them. Was there a scary dog there as well?

[uk66fastback]

No dog that I saw or heard but I did have the window on the van up …

The 928 was being used back in 2008, that’s 18 years ago! The trike has been up the wall like that from at least Oct 22 … the Audi has been there years - if it’s the same car which it looks to be. Back in 2008 there was the Countach rep bodyshell thing.

Usually a couple out on the road too that are running

what a waste, those look not really bad, looking still 'good' why...

[aterribleusername]

I know those cars, haven't been there long. Don't know the story behind them though but will ask around next time I'm there with work.

[Dapster]

Any ideas?

[Ronaro]

I m guessing Rover P5B Coupe. What town is that?

Why B coupe rather than just P5?

Good guess but no. It’s in Totteridge, North London.

The body / roof colours are Coupe colours, something like smoke grey over ivory!
