Poor Astons

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Surley those Astons could have been of some use in spares? Or maybe theres a law that test prototypes cant be re-used?

Astons

 

[Englebert]

Yeah, they are meant to be destroyed. Would love to know where that place is though, i'd happily sit in them and make car noises.

I was looking for a car to restore, some kind of classic and here in Portugal all of them are expensive, then I see this topic and so much good cars, good projects just leaved to rotten for a lot of years...

Sad, to sad really. For some persons a car is just a product that you use and scrap. For me and most of the users here are our life, our dedication and our friend.

Just enter a car, close the door, turn the key and enjoy...

not quite abandoned but still in use, driving through the Midlands!!!

I can't see a shred of rust either!

 

[Adam-o]

It's a trabant 601, It won't rust its mostly plastic!

[VeinAST]

In the back yard that Daniel?

 

[Daniel]

ITs local to me but not in my garden no! lol.

Although my ratvan is on my driveway and looks abandoned.

 

[DaveDreads]

I bet with some simple spannering that Landy would still start.

 

[tyranical]

When I went to Madrid with work a few months ago in the underground carpark we parked in if you went down to the bottom floor there were loads of cars down there that obviously hadn't moved for years, Its like people parked them there then couldn't afford to pay to get them back out so they've just been left.

Better watch out for the pikeys then!

 

[Sash]

Found this beaut on my travels today!

double post

We found an old lotus elan next to our new unit. Land owner said its been there 5 years and it was left by a previous tenant. The Tenant was unable to trace the owner and we have saved it from being scrapped. I think due to its fibreglass body its worthless as scrap so its a lucky car! We are going to get the owner details from the DVLA. If we cannot find the owner to give them a storage bill I am going to restore it

[Matt Cup]

Fair play! When and if you sort out the legal stuff, don't forget to put a build thread up

But for the time being get some pics in it's current state!

 

[Kam.]

looks better in pictures than it really is but on the grand scheme of things its not too bad.

 

[EllisC]
