Classics left to die/rotting pics - Vol 2

[Tyre Smoke]

Been sitting in the yard of a customer of mine for at least 14 years. Interior looks surprisingly good. Lord knows what the shell is like.

Spotted a MK1 Corona rotting away in a front garden on Sheppey.

Spellchecker.

Cortina.

Jump leads & it will start 1st time, it’s a Saab!

Don't waste your time - It's a Vauxhall in a Swedish suit!

[Tyre Smoke]

Is it? I thought that was just pre Vectra. But actually thinking about it...

Is that a dead or dying X300 lwb in front of it?

QuickQuack said:

It's an X308 if I remember it correctly and it's nowhere near as bad as the Saab. I'll be passing again on Friday and I can have a look.

This MG ZT has been sitting around in Skegness for the best part of 10 years.

Shame as they are cracking cars to drive, looks like one of the last facelift ZT.

Considering you can pick up a decent one for less than £1500, that's worth scrap value at best

Surely that just needs a good wash polish and wax and it will look in very good order.

On the outskirts of my village. A half decent looking Mk1 Fiesta, a supersport I think, has since appeared behind the Jaguar, but hasn’t moved since it’s arrival.

Same property...

Such a waste a lovely CL - give it to someone to fix up and back on the road where it should be

I spy a Porsche 924 in traditional Guards Pink.

That era of CL (C215?) has a reputation of throwing some biblical bills - it's probably going to be multiples of the value of the car to fix that.

Ironically, the world's most unkillable vehicle, the Mercedes W123, is parked 3 spaces further down!

One similar to that CL I think going downhill on someone's drive not far from me.

Some Mercedes, parked in the pub carpark area of the Royal Standard near Beaconsfield. There are a few other odd random classics in various states of disrepair on the site. Presumably, all bought and dumped by the insanely wealthy private owner of that pub (they make a killing every weekend).

Maybe the red one is valuable...ish?

[Hugo a Gogo]

those 250/280CEs are really nice, but not that valuable
and rusty mercs can be restored, but it gets very expensive
