Did anyone see the new series of Bangers and Cash where they showed the garage fine Cooper S now fully restored? the chap managed to restore it without re-shelling it.

The ERF is more interesting than the Metro!

Probably more chance of it running!

The Metro has been there a while I think

That's actually a Rover 100. Introduced in 94, it was hopelessly out of date even from introduction - totally outclassed by the Fiesta and Polo and with a dire NCAP score, it was on life support by this stage.

Couple of Granadas seemingly dumped. The green one was bodily in very good nick from a quick glance,

Google maps (Nov 2020) has this- looks like a different car based on the colour. I was going to say, surely it's not left to rot, but be taxed and insured, but with no MOT required I guess they could be!

A70 Hereford, a rare beast and possibly of interest to AH owners as some parts eg suspension may be the same.

Both early Mk2s - lovely. Dad had a couple of these back in the 70s, one the waft-mungous 2.8i Ghia and one (I believe) a much rarer 2.8i GLS. Great cars.

Didn’t see that did they mention the similarities to the AH ?

That's a shame. I had a 2.8 Ghia in 1981 and have fond memories of it as it was my first decent car - it was only 3 years old. Lovely comfy wafter, but not particularly quick.

This is owned by an eccentric-looking guy who seems to live in a caravan in the garden of a property that would be a candidate for a 'houses left to die/rotting' thread. Have seen various cars of similar vintage there from time to time. They usually have numberplates in the current font but I don't know if he ever drives them. He had a Montego at one point too.
