This sounds like one of the most crap bits of clickbait ever. "Man breaks lock off garage door and can't believe what he finds"

Oh, it's a fucked Austin 1100.

Then it turns up with it's own OnlyFans profile because it's so dirty.

We left the pride of the midlands in a shed located in Scotshire for 40 years. The results will surprise you!

Despite me and my mate who's taking this offering to get it rolling to get it on the trailer the father of the chap whose garage it's in is insisting on getting it rolling. Here's how that's working out...Screenshot_20201106-135045.thumb.png.cb7fa1c711e9fe764cfd3109e3f8193e.png

I went to a Massive Bolton scrapyard in 1990 with my dad and it was a trove of loads of 70s and 80s cars with a few 60s models too. Quite a few minors, There were no bmc 1100/1300s - which given the huuuge yard and sales volumes of them to ‘74 seems to suggest they vanished off the roads pretty quickly.

was going to suggest a "Fawlty Towers" comment, as it was a car similar to this John Cleese hit with a bendy tree branch, but looking at the state of this car, perhaps it's a not appropriate!

I gave a 1300cc engine and box from an Allegro to a guy in the club and he completely rebuilt it despite it coming from a car with no bonnet, sat out in the open for the previous 15 years or so. It was seized solid and the bores were full of silt. Amazing.

Well, I'll let the pictures do the talking. If anyone wants any bits let me know but safe to say it's off to become bean cans very shortly.
