STUNO Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 This has appeared in the street outside work. It has been in a shed somewhere for a long time but a check on the plate shows it passed a test in 2015. A 1972 local built car. paulplom, Shite Ron, keef and 14 others 16 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea where South W is but assume from the reg you are in New Zealand? I'll have to see which part you are on as there is a Maxi in the same colour that I'd like to know more about. Edit: that's a shame as it looks as if you are on the North Island and I think the Maxi is on the South. Austat, Shite Ron and Split_Pin 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see now why I normally choose the latter, it is a crucially dysfunctional shithole, full of rotten estates interspersed with huge drug dealer houses. Never again. However, it's where chod goes to die. I had to zoom in on this one. Ancient Leyland Freighter, long, long dead. This looks to have been here for decades, with a Scania 2 series for company Another Leyland, this time an 8 legged Constructor. Scammell Trunker. This has been here for decades as well. Sierra next to it another half a one was nearby. On the road outside, a slightly more spruce pair. And back down the road was this: What I photographed doesn't even scratch the surface but I had to remain semi-covert due to the highly dodgy area no doubt full of paranoid people with a lot to hide. I'm glad I live in the nice* part of town, all things considered. I know of the guys that own the scammell and its yard, stock car builders and racers. The dad does some of our tame mechanic's welding. They are pretty sound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fumbler Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Found this unhappy threesome down a side road. Seems they've all been abandoned in a carpark in quick succession... Polo bas been on SORN since 2018 with only 35,000 miles but it's a bit brown underneath. I can't imagine the grass has helped much. The Bongo Friendee is also SORNed after losing 196,643 miles between tests! The 45 is a diesel with Boris MoT(!) but is also on SORN. bunglebus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cavcraft Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Near Ellesmere Port on Sunday. Didn't look stolen (ignition not tampered with) so possibly just dumped or been used by a double hair cutted 'conifer specialist' and broke down.

Jerzy Woking Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 This is still in the basement garage of the family house in Spain. I was told last December that it was going to be towed away and scrapped. Al that seems to have happened is that it has a thicker coating of dust on it. V6 engine too.
