Might have already been mentioned but there is a Jensen Interceptor in a village near Husbands Bosworth (on the way to Market Harborough, could be Walcote can't quite remember)... And that's been sat under a cover since the mid 80s according to my old man! I travel that route to go to a shooting ground nearby and everytime I see the car it makes me cringe

There used to be one in a farm on the Dungeness Road between Greatstone and Lydd used as an animal coup - not been there for a couple of years but it was a total wreck last time I went past it.Turkish91 said:

Sitting in a compound in Ardwick Green, Manchester.
Probably a lot rougher closeup, you can see the rotten nearside wing from here not to mention whats hidden under the tarp. There is another lockup compound nearby on Fairfield St which includes a MK10/420G and a rotten Silver Spur, difficult getting pictures in case you get asked for business by ladies o0f a certain profession!
We had a brand new one (oooh weren't we posh). FOK 733L in blue. I remember swinging on the wing mirror and it coming off (and denying I did it to my Dad).Probably a lot rougher closeup, you can see the rotten nearside wing from here not to mention whats hidden under the tarp.

On a garage forecourt near me, about 40km north-west of Limoges, together with two complete Renault Dauphines and lots of other sad sights. Main pic is an Oldsmobile Toronado of the 1980s. The original Toronado was a mid-60s 7-litre monster with front-wheel-drive. That would have been worth finding...

Possibly no engine in it going by the rear end height and angle of wheels.
Eta,can't see any exhaust pipes either.

I'll just put the engine on top of this tool box and Paul will lower the car over the top of itEta,can't see any exhaust pipes either.

just wiggle the engine onto the gearbox then bolt it up, just four bolts hold it in
- damn, impact lost by being on a new page
This article was posted on Petrolblog a few years back and I recognised the garage as I've driven past it quite often. I spoke to MajorGav and he hadn't spotted the 944 around the side of the building so I intended to get a picture of it for ages so whilst out for a drive in the area today I thought I'd stop by and grab a pic or two.
I also found an old Japanese something with a GT badge on the back and "Born to be wild" painted down the side. The car was rusting to pieces and was hanging out of a ditch. I was going to grab a pic but I had a car behind me and nowhere to stop.
