Guest Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Was the Oxbridge victim of a previous collapse, before the probate demolishing team moved in? Yep the building had a fire 3/4 years ago and the council are clearing the site. The guy on site today kindly let me take those pic's. More from elsewhere  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddyramrod Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Â I'll expect to see this one roaring round Paphos in a few weeks then! There's a private ambulance service over here that picks up retired wagons from Yuk, he hasn't got anything as nice as a Turbodaily though. If he did, I'd be applying...

BMC Dan Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Shame about the Cambridge although it looks rather ropey, would have still made a few hundred quid on ebay for racing!! If you're passing it again I'd be interested in the ashtrays in the back of the front seats if undamaged. Avenger wagon looks spectacularly minging too.

mattblack Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Blimey! The times I've driven past that garage and never knew what was in there. Makes you wonder what else is lurking out of sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Blimey! The times I've driven past that garage and never knew what was in there. Makes you wonder what else is lurking out of sight.  Still some old Minis (vans cars and Riley Elf) there as well as the A60 and P100. Minis were too hemmed in to picture.

Split_Pin Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Excellent pictures  That P100 looks to have a few salvageable panels. Justging by the mould on the roof og the Cambridge, I would guess that it was squashed like that some time ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vin Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 It's amazing what gets dragged out of old buildings and the like. What condition are the minis - Same as the P100 and Oxbridge  As well as meeting an ignominious end, Oxbridge looks like it was once a victim of plate rape.

Guest Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 The Montego with the towball missing has been in that field around three years - the other one and the Suzuki have appeared in the last few months. Given there are farms nearby my guess was that they are for the diesel engines for Land Rover conversions. Where the Minis were in the building housing the P100 and Cambridge has helped them escape too much damage and the owner has bought them back from the insurance company to restore.

HillmanImp Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 I reckon that Toledo (is it a Toledo or are they called 1300's? I get confuzzled) looks ace. Not to everyones taste no doubt but I like it (unless the driver has the Union Jack on it because of his EDF links). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
