It was on ebay recently, the car was raised on another thread somewhere. Reached £11ish £k IIRC
It was on this thread about 4 pages ago, hence the quoted post wink

Took this photo a couple of days ago.



Googled the registration, and came up with this photo from 5 years earlier.

it hasn't really changed much!



Will chase it up the next time I am in the area.

Quite like them, so hope it isn't too far gone!

A little way from the coast but with the leaves, damp ground etc. the rate of deterioration is pretty rapid. Some of the stuff that you could still make out a couple of years ago has now just disappeared into the ground !

No idea on the first one.....

Second is a Commer Walk-Thru - living up to its name!

Third is MK1 Transit.

Then an MG ZA.

Bedford J Type.

Finally the pair - A40 10 Cwt and a Commer Cob.

Difficult to see from that angle but I sincerely hope that isn't an original! Rear wing looks a bit clumsy and too sharp edged. Also the bit with "Off..." written on it too thick. Although to be fair, the fit on the boot lid of the original is nothing to write home about!

Top ones are worth more than £1m.

I could point out the inaccuracies with the silver one til I'm blue in the face. Needless to say, it's obviously not a genuine 959.

The owner really needs to sell this to me. For some reason I think it's awesome.
