Wow....just WOW!

Barn finds are ten a penny these days, here's a genuine quarry find.

 

[Zelandeth]

I really feel that I should be able to ID that, and I'm utterly failing.

[Sunny Jim]

I couldn't find a name or even a number on it anywhere. I'm left wondering how on earth it ended up there - on a slate tip in a quarry at 1400ft above sea level a mile from the nearest road.

Going by the front bumper, intake manifold and valve cover I'm guessing it's a '50s Ford Zephyr?

I think it's a Mk 1 Zephyr/Zodiac.  Struts, so almost certainly Ford, and engine, master cylinders, overriders, and a few other bits look right.

I reckon it's a Ford Zephyr/Zodiac Mk2

Edit: Beaten to it.

Great minds, etc!

I've seen some interesting that over the last few days.  I saw this on a walk just before it's blue ovaled equivalent.

look closer, there are two Fiestas.

On the way back I stopped at the supermarket and got back to find that my girlfriend had stopped the owner of this lovely 240 for a chat so I'd see it before he left.  He's got a couple of Triumphs too and has been directed here.

Yesterday's walk found this

Today's trek out saw this hoard, I'm fairly sure the purple 144 was at the big field auction a few months ago having just watched the Smith and Sniff video of it.

Also this - I definitely* need to buy another fucked early '70s Volvo rather than fixing the one I've already got.

E30 318 spotted on our walk today

[Aston Martin]

Firstly fuck Lincolnshire.

 

I was in the sticks delivering to a new build.... Key worker? New build?

 

Anyway, one house had 15 minis, an sd1 and a montego. Across the road a Nova in bits, same road two Freelander 1's on the drive.... Same road, one house with a Monaro and an MG3. How does that work? "Hi, love. Listen I'm getting myself a monster V8. Would you like a crummy mg?"

 

North of Boston is the top find. I'm behind a Fezza and I think, it can't be? I get closer, fuck me it is. A Fezza 1.6S. ?

Doncha just love the way it doesn't fit properly after 27 years of the elements?

Speechless, got to be the spot of the day

?

I wonder if the roof leaks?

[rob88h]

This marvellous Talbot Express has turned up in our area, complete with cataracts and mild accident damage.

[mitsisigma01]

I spotted this in my cupboard, haven't seen it for years. My 2000e, the oak tree won, car went to the bridge in 88 ????

[mitsisigma01]

Oops, so upset I posted the pic twice ?

.....I wonder if the roof leaks?

That 121 has been sitting at the Crown Honda / Suzuki dealership for quite a while now. It's stuck there with a few other cars, probably awaiting a service / repair of something.

I found out today that the 2CV-type roof is known as a "Fun Top". Given that the thing's had 27 years of the elements, I wouldn't be surprised if it has sprung a leak or two. The roof evidently doesn't fit properly when fully-closed probably because of years of stretching and contraction.

Come across this Vauxhall Chevette 1.3L today, I thought the last of these were on a Y Plate but clearly not.
