There is a series 2 LWB, Series 2 SWB, MG Midget, 3 x Chrysler Voygers, approx 10 motorbikes, a couple of small far eastern cars of the early 80's - a trailer tent along with a canoe and yes it could be mistaken for a scrapyard - but it actually one my neighbours front garden's - apparently the rear garden is also home to several motorbikes, stripped down Land Rover chassis' & various other bits of cars - none of which work / move or go anywhere - apparently it's been like that for years - his vocation ?

Next time you are passing your neighbour, slip this through his door.
the web page.
Most times, when I see a pile of old cars, unlike most, I just cannot see the potential. Luckily others can and some fine old beauties get to grace our roads once more. But this picture of a scrapyard did make the old ticker miss a beat.

I know of an old landy in similar condition to that one, SWB Station Wagon.
I keep having a chat with the owner when out with my dogs and may end up getting it as a project.
probably eye watering what is going to cost to get in even a reasonable condition, shame to see it slowly disappearing though
