| I am sure that is a Triumph Renown, remember them from my younger days. |

Well Paul, I let you down... SWMBO decided that we should be spending the cold Sunday afternoon at the local rather then poking around rusty cars... Admittedly I thought we could have done both, but since when did arguing get me anywhere?

Well its taken a while but here goes, I got up to this place today and as has been said, most of the collection is gone, BUT here is what I found:
In the entrance was this:
Moving into the field, one of two HA viva vans on the site (and this is the better)
Panoramic view of the site
I think this was a Marina van
An A40 Farina I think
This believe it or not is a Mk2 Escort
Some Renault 5's and Metro's
I have no idea what this is?
Bond microcars are supposed to be rare and this is the third I've found within 10 miles of my house!
You think this Transit is rusty?
You'd be right!
Racing onion
That badge said Fiat:
A snapped and collapsed Marina
This is one of about 5 ADO16's on site:
Now, none of these I recognise:

Thanks Rick, I took the truck pics especially with you in mind 
You're right, that's an Invacar definitely, but I think the back end is smashed up.

I was driving to Warracknabeal yesterday for a repair job at the local hospital when I spotted this in the paddock next to the road.

My goodness Welshie what an accumulation  Did old mate who owns them try to wash the weeds away with brine? All that rust would make for a good lemon grove 
Sadley some of them are only good for glass recovery and maybe cast iron bits and bobs

I expect the scrap merchants are forming a queue already.
RIP those who didn't make it  |

Hi
I presume the 2nd one up (the blue one) is a GM product, it looks like our Vauxhall Victor FA series 2 but with an uglier grill and side lights.
