Alloy sportscar.
More information on this Alloy:
We (Matthew in the photo and I) never did work out what this alloy bodied sports or tourer was. Many interesting cars had disintegrated into the fauna at this Yorkshire scrapyard. I'd have loved to visit this yard when it was still full of cars. By the mid 90s the only interesting 1920s and 1930s stuff was at the extreme edges under the trees.
This section of oldclassiccar is full of photographs showing a mix of unrestored, derelict, abandoned, and scrapped old cars. Some cars are with enthusiasts awaiting restoration, others are dumped or seen in breakers yards. I don't have any more information on the classic Alloy above, so all news regarding what happened to it, or the rescue of this particular sportscar would be much appreciated.
All the photos, including this picture of an old Alloy sportscar, are shown as a reminder of how old cars go to look once past their first flush of youth. Some of the scrapyards in this archive no longer exist, others perhaps survive but don't allow you to walk around them. And those that you can still get in probably don't have many classics in them any more. For more photos like this one of the sportscar, and similar old Alloys, please visit the main scrapyard & scrap cars image page.
