My white marina was wrecked by the Top Gear team up in the Alps. Have you ever seen one of your old cars years later lying wrecked or in a scrapyard. Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad

I never saw it but my SS was pulled out of a scrap yard in 1964. I did visit the yard in the 1990s and there were still quite a few nice old cars there but the owner wasn't for selling them.
