What is that bumper off of thats lying under the little white Fiat?

Either a Breadvan or a Mk12 Golf.

 

edit: assuming the obscured numberplate letter is L, Cartell says it's a Jetta.

Anyone want to tell me what this is?

Another guessing game, Renault 4 van on the left and the one on the right is???
We think it might be a Minor traveller or a homemade pick up.

Looking at this, I like to imagine that at some point the rot got so bad that while the inner frame and bootlock held, the sprung hinge finally shot the outer skin of the bootlid into the air.

48-51 Vauxhalls have one piece windscreen. Wyvern 4 cyl, Velox 6 cyl. Scrap car's so knackered I could be wrong though.

Flat screen, roof shape, detail below C-pillar, detail below A-pillar and door handle positions compare well.

 

And this is supposed to be a 1949 Velox Six air engine bay:

So the air filter compares well too as does the bonnet striker panel.

Now that's a proper scrap yard!

 

I reckon those continas would sell for several hundreds on ebay as 'barn finds'. Wheel a new car under the ID plate & it'll be MOT'd in a month.

The pictures where there's no outer skin on the boot lids with just the hinges sticking up are great, I like to imagine that when the rust finally got enough the outer skin was just jettisoned across the yard by the boot springs.

Edit, excellent clear scrapyard pics posted, can really zoom in to see what's there.

 

 

 

I think we may have a winner.
