MG MGA.
More information on this MG:
Yes that *is* an MGA disappearing under the bushes behind a P4 Rover. Identifying this classic in 1993 was not very easy - the only real giveaway at first was the oval grille that fits each side of the scuttle near the screen. Needless to say it was way beyond restoration. I'd be fascinated to see what state this car is in now after many more years outside.
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 MG above, so all news regarding what happened to it, or the rescue of this particular MGA would be much appreciated.
All the photos, including this picture of an old MG MGA, 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 MGA, and similar old MGs, please visit the main scrapyard & scrap cars image page.
