Looks like a Lloyd...

I've been meaning to post a picture of this for a while. This Opel Manta GT/E has been festering on this drive in Balham for at least 10 years

Looks like a genuine '60s conversion from a van, my other half's Dad did it with his '61 van and fitted extra seats in the back! I believe it was a purchase tax avoidance scheme back then!

Old Zephyr been rotting away for years, I knocked the door a couple of years back to see if it was up for grabs and got a whole load of abuse just for asking!! Didn't dare go any closer for photo today for obvious reasons!

[SilverHarrier]

Can remember this one around in regular use but its been parked up unmoved for a few years now and things not looking good for it..

Thinking about it, I don't remember the last time I saw one.

Nice wing mirrors.

One of three campers in various states of repair (decay!) The others are blocked from view due to the Renault which is in regular use. The camper you can see is probably the best of the three!

[Geekman]

Looks like the one which parks around the corner from my girlfriend's parents house, although this one is in daily use!



This one isn't going anywhere though:

[SilverHarrier]

Look through the trellis and you can just see a Triumph Herald, it was on the road about 10 years back but got parked up and eventually fenced in!

Trailer belongs go an audi 100 which doesnt seem to have seen its first MOT. Numberplate chnage, I wonder?

[gothatway]

Trailer doesn't have too much air in the bottom of the tyre, either.

Cant remember ever seeing an Audi round there so I wouldn't know, the house has only been built since late 90s and the Herald has always been there, the bloke also has one of those Hyundai H100 vans rotting right outside the front! The Herald used to be out the front but when the van came off the road the Herald got moved down the side. I didn't have the bottle to post a picture of the van in case it ruins the thread!

Really? I see loads. Far more than Passats and Mondeos from that era, anyway

Awk, who lets an SM rot away like that? Tragic
