Classics left to die/rotting pics - Vol 2

Trabant.

I like the hippy style flowers growing out the grille.

This is probably mint condition for a Trabby as they pretty much looked like this when they left the factory ;-)

PS - wonder who thought it was a good idea to build a double thickness of brick on top of the already unstable single skin?

Put that Trabi pic in B&W and it could be an East German side street in the mid '90's. Wonder how long it'll be before the roof falls in.

Where is that? I'd have that Trabi in a heartbeat to go with Trabitha.

You wouldn't catch me going in that garage to push it out, it's a death trap.

No problem, they have a towing eye on the front subframe.

If only half the car comes out, I'll have the useful end!

Are you seriously interested? I could give you the address if you are.

924 Turbo in Marlow. Been stood there for years.

I posted the same 924 a couple of years ago when I worked in marlow which prompted someone on here to go see the guy at the house, they got the usual story of it being a resto project about to start, sad to see nothing has changed. At the time it had a 911 hardtop under a tarp on the bonnet.
The AX was and probably still is his daily driver. It's a GTi and looks relatively solid but the paintwork particularly on the bonnet is shot.

Moskvich for sure.

Yes, location dependent.

OK I'll get the address next time I go by and PM you.

I reckon this must be a classic. It’s been sitting there for at least 12 years, if not longer. It’s a shame because it looks pretty tidy even after sitting for this long, but I’d imagine it’s rotten underneath!

Where about did this? I’d love to pop a note through the door (location dependant).

Or you could just tell me a rough location, Derbyshire, Essex, Cornwall...

A Wolseley wedge no less hiding in Coseley. So a Coseley Wolseley.

Very rare indeed aren't they? Final car to wear the Wolseley badge I think.

As does the (lack of) suspension.

This is the kind of craziness that keeps me coming back to this place

Illuminated on the front grille.

Quite what help that is to the owner or any other person is a moot point.

That AX is probably the injected "i". I had an original pre-facelift 1989 GT with the carb fed 1.4. Fantastic things to drive but mine was so unreliable - a combination of terrible build quality and being totally abused by me and probably all of its previous owners.....

Spotted this E24 in Ally Pally. Looks beyond help - streetview shows it has been sitting unloved for a decade.

Three decades more like - it was in the same spot in '93 when I lived round the corner in Dukes Avenue

There's one very simillar sat on my street. It's taxed & tested, but in need of some TLC. Suprising how small these also look compared to more modern cars.
