Some excellent shots here, well done all of you.And trigger, dont be said, those two are excellent.I really hope I see something extraordinary tomorrow.....

[55bloke]

Fantastic pics!! I think the Interceptor must be a potential winner!! Off to look through my archives now to see if I got anything worthy of inclusion!!

[trigger]

Oh I forgot about this one, I spotted it in Betws Y Clod in North Wales, I love the wheel arch repair!

 

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Looks like a hafl-decent repair that! Just needs a bit of wob on it fo finish off. Oh and some paint.

[mattblack]

Lada returning to nature in Norfolk...

 

Marina-rimmed Traveller...

 

Complex-shite and a Healey replica snuggle up..

[55bloke]

Ok, found a few goodies:-

late '40s GM (I think) slowly disintigrating in a field in Calgary.

I wonder if whoever ownes this actually realises what it would be worth if they hadn't let it just moulder away?

Believe it or not, this is in a drive just a few doors up from the Escort!

[Cavcraft]

All too brief BX 16V ownership. Never actually got to drive this on the road which was a shame...

 

 

*Gratuitous BX content again. This time helping rescue a rare 4x4 BX with a top bloke from BXProject for another BXer in Ireland, and also managed to get my old Merc truck into the frame...

I have a lot that could be included in this thread, I have a lot of 35mm stuff that I have yet to scan (scrapyard trips in 1992 etc). These are just a selection of the cars I've taken in the last 10 years.

I'm currently in the process of drawing an Austin A55. As you can see I get some serious kicks out of hunting and snapping this kind of stuff - glad that I'm not alone. Sorry for hogging the thread.....

 

 

However, I submit these 3 UK Citroen images for the 'competition'...

I really want them Alpina alloys!

[Hudsonpie]

Reallyloud.....that drawing is excellent would love to see some more

[55bloke]

^^^ what he said!! You got a real talent there, you could make a career of that!

[Rusty Pelican]

Have to say that drawing is class , do some and sell them

[Mr Lobster]

That is a seriously impressive drawing. Superb, as others have said you should be selling them (and using the proceeds to establish The Reallyloud World of Tat).

[brammy777]

Heres my final entry

[barrett]

Some great ones here huys, my favourite is probably VWPs 'slightly rusty' Alfa....

Here's mine;

[Rusty Pelican]

My entry , this would you believe ran quite well

 

[Rogue trader]

Cant believe that Jensen on page one is still there I drove up there about ten years ago when I was a driver for an auction firm and knocked on his door in an attempt to try and buy it he told me he bought a few years before and was going to restore it and would not sell (and trust me I tried) he also showed me loads of brand new jensen parts that he had bought off Jensen just before they went bust, you name it he had it panels trim etc. what a waste it was quite savable then and just look at the plate how much would that be worth im sure its a 69 model.

[Jon]

OK Rab, here are my 3. Shamelessly taken in NZ for hopeful extra points after a visit to the mighty Horopito

 

The 'been stood for decades' look should hopefully be summed up by this Vauxhall Velox/Wyvern (I think) interior:

 

 

'Rare as hens teeth' card played with this RHD Fiat 2300 estate (with a Dormobile in the background if Micheal Cane's to be belived in the Italian Job)

 

 

'Rare as hens teeth in rocking horse shit' card played with this Trekka:

 

 

 

That is all.

This ambulance appears over winter and becomes some kind of ghostly ice cream van in summer months.
