Camaro?

Well spotted, 67.

Without the doors on it took me a second to work out it was a '67

My favourite muscle car shape of that era

Each to their own, but I think they look better with a front.

RFC303W, last taxed 2003 but it would have been pretty rotten even then. It would have come from Hartwells on Botley road who I used to use for mine. Looks like an early HE with Starfish wheels and the stripes.

Won't be a manual in that case. That'd be the one useful thing left!

it is, the only year this model was available

[Getragdogleg]

The wreck is a 67, the best of the years in my opinion as it had the cleanest lines and also the little vent 1/4 windows.

I have another 67, in much better shape, the pictured one was a spares car I broke a while ago but I have the shell in my yard just because it still looks cool even as a ruin.

I doubt that's the original number of the car.

A lot of folks in Lewis have a special affinity for the initials RFC

No dates or locations with these, some are in the UK some are overseas - just pics I've found recently which I thought might as well be on here...

[Skyedriver]

With apologies to any mini owner offended, (I have had about 7) the relevant locations are the best places for them...

[P5BNij]

None taken... . Some useful parts on some of them though, Mk1 rear screens, side windows, grilles, other bits of trim etc. Too late now no doubt...

I will admit it isn't exactly a car classified site, BUT...

What's this rare-looking J reg Rover I see here?

[MarkwG]

Looks like a 220GTi possibly although the spoiler looks naff

Is that a spoiler on the roof as well?

Road tax was due 29 June 1990, 848cc Morris Mini from January 1967.

just been on youtube looking at one of the urban explorer sites and found one from 2018 showing a airbase with thousands of cars from the 2009 scrappage thing that are still stored just rotting away.Even today a good lot of these cars could be made use of but I suppose that would be against the idea of the scheme.
Just seems such a waste
