Seems to be doubling up as a storage shed . Kinver Staffs.

Such a shame! In mint condition, these are amazing looking cars!

Now, if it had been made into a half-track.....

Morris did make them!

I spotted this in Cefn Mawr near Wrexham . . . I'm not sure what it is . . . a Lancia ?

Looks like an Alfa Romeo 2600 Sprint. Very rare in the UK as they were rather pricey when new.

Wow, I didn't think it might be as old as the mid-60s . . . I thought it might from c. 1972/73.

I wish I could have got a pic of the front of it, as I don't recall having ever seen one before.

I can't even begin to contemplate what that Welsh Alfa would cost to restore to anything decent ... may thousands of £££. Such a shame. The back view is surprisingly plain, but the front is to die for!

The red 146 next to it seems to have a full cage! What's the story there - real track toy or boy racer with a PVC drainpipe fake?

That bus, an AEC Regent V, probably ex-East Kent, looks to be in remarkable condition for one left out side. And boxed in by those (likely virtually immovable?) cars? Mystery!

Land Rovers should never be in mint condition!

Running, but old and battered - Now that's the proper cool look for a Landy!

RHD example for sale here, it's been for sale for a while now, not mint but very nice.... a while ago it was advertised elsewhere and was silver then so it's obviously had a respray at some point....

A great shown piece on top of a shed or something?!

That ad is either a giant pisstake or a massive warning as to whom you will be dealing with. Take your pick.....
