monzaE Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Fantastic shots. Things like the Holden are works of art with that 'patina'. Wierd how the chrome on most of the stuff looks fairly rust free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j-j Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Some of those are in way too good nick to be in there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2_craig Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Awesome. That Escort van needs to be shipped over here STAT, it would make a fortune even in that condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milford Cubicle Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Amazing! Did they have much in the way of modern fodder or is just a classic scrapyard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotorabia Posted June 2, 2008 Author Share Posted June 2, 2008 Notes on comments: we have short winters..and snow only in the higher altitudes..hence why cars survive..unless their on the coast of course..unfortunately we didnt get a shot of the 38 Chev sedan..only recently out of a shed...ropey but still running...you can buy a lot out of here...but they tend to be expensive..id be tempted by the purple Austin 1300..it was a minty..but have to resist dammit..but the place is cool due to the international variety..Yanks ,Brits ,Antipodeans and Euro's... and Milford..theyre beginning a slightly more modern collection..theyd cleared lotsa of the carcasses that had been stripped...but they still leave the interesting shit there for the museum sake..interesting enough..the roads in the area are very prone to black ice..hence lotsa pranged stuff..

Spottedlaurel Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Wonderful stuff, great pic's too. Just look at what's in the background, all the Mitsubishis behind the fintail Benz for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
