Some fabulous rubbish, there. That 'nada hearse was outside the famously chod-laden garage between Clacton and St Osyth until recently.

Cool Bimmer could be straight from the set of the Bill

Are they all in the same yard? If I can't have the Bentley I'll take the Volvo limo please...

[Pete-M]

That Bentley is a Hooper or Mulliner or summat as that rear window setup is a coachbuilt one.

[Felly Magic]

Looks like stuff belonging to a TV production company, esp the Volvo FL truck in the background. Bristol Film & TV love ex brewery FL6 trucks for towing campers

[Guest]

Pete M - well spotted it is indeed a Hooper and Felly its a yard belonging to a transport and storage company thats now retired. It used to have old Scammels and stuff there.

I like the red Datsun Cherry coupé. Interesting black rear panel and tail lights on those - just a shame the front lights and grille are a bit devoid of styling touches.

Predictably, it's the R4 F6 van for me, closely followed by the turd-brown Moggy-thou.

Is there a space for Autoshite funerals?

Jag is on SORN

Freight-Rover Sherpa not taxed since 1995 and comes up a White

[Guest]

Just looked up the 405 Diesel estate and its a January 1993 car untaxed since September 1996.

Fanbloodytastic stuff!, Whats with the squre rear plate on the Ballade i wonder?, Jap Import?

[Split_Pin]

Great update, just as A-S should be!

[Lufthansa-Terminal]

Why is the Granada hearse not on a wanky irish number plate?. That Volvo 144 is the crispiest one I have ever seen.

[PaykanHunter]

 

MAYDAY! MAYDAY!... OMG!... That is a Singer Gazelle! and a quick DVLA check confirmed it!... What a find that is, where is this place?!!! you got any more photos from it?...

[Guest]

All the pictures are on Flickr - surprised you did not spot them there.

[Cavcraft]

Brilliant spots, absolutely love that early looking Sherpa van.

[Captain Mainwaring]

Bloody hell, that Allis Chalmers must have been there for fecking years, I remember seeing pictures of it in the same place a few years ago.

I know its an agricultural vehicle but in what style would that have been?. Its not like a tractor or a jcb

[Guest]

Don't know if you have been out there lately Rootes but Glaston garage is still alive and kicking, was that Renault 12 somewhere in Leicester, don't suppose you know if it is still there?
