So sad to see all those Ford's left abandoned. Is the Escort in pic 1a Monte Carlo edition ? There is a red Escort Cossie gathering dust in an old Ford workshop in Whitchurch, Shropshire; I don't think it has been taxed for 7 years IIRC. Posted a pic of it on here ages ago, will grab another next time I pass, would love to save it.

It's either a Monte or Italian equivalent Martini edition.

These cars have been bought from all over Europe apparently.

Near Burnham-on-Crouch, Essex these two have not moved for quite some time. The truck reminds me of the Peterbuilt in Duel, and the Jeepers Creepers truck.

....Old Land Rover wink

Landys are not really my thing, but if anyone wants to try to make contact with the owner, I can PM details of it's location. I don't know the owner or the history of either of these vehicles, but it's a shame to see them rot away after surviving this long.

That Land Rover ( a late ish S1 ) has been there at least before 1997 when I first saw it.

This is a bit naughty as it's supposed to be hidden from view by a sort of sheet but not

concealed enough for my nosey camera !

That's not been left to die/rotting! - It's blatantly being used as a bracket for the hose and electrical cables! spin
Not worth a sight though being a 1968 340, with small bumpers and plastic interior. Nice to see the tow bar though!
I thought that had been rescued when I saw this one but obviously a different car - http://www.jdclassics.co.uk/showrooms/Jaguar-Mk1-3...
