Austin A30.

More information on this Austin:

Photographed in a Peak District scrapyard in '95. I've seen worse A30s around but I guess this one had had its day sadly. A viable restoration project? Probably not alas. It must have been a chilly day as there is still snow on the windscreen.

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 Austin above, so all news regarding what happened to it, or the rescue of this particular A30 would be much appreciated.

All the photos, including this picture of an old Austin A30, 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 A30, and similar old Austins, please visit the main scrapyard & scrap cars image page.
