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?

 

Yes I passed by the garage a few weeks ago and saw it was still in one piece. Renault 12 - silver one? Yes that was still there on monday afternoon.

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 :?

 

Bucket loading thing.

Being as it was March 2010 I no longer have the contact details and the car is near Leicester. If interested still I will get the address for you.

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

I did right after here, Thanks!!!! What a Brilliant find! Somebody needs to save this Gazelle! There are only less than 10 of these have survived in the UK!

That Renner is still there, I see. Looks like it's getting worse and worse. :(

Bloody hell! How did this thread sink? Maestro van / Reno 12 / Pink horror / Yank barge and no comments for days :shock: Yet the 2013 transit got two pages of drivel :roll: Autoshite is moving from where I thought it was :oops:

+1...spots threads hardly seem worth the effort at the mo'.

Still, great spots: I couldn't get the photos of the pink Xantia (is it me, or does it bear a passing resemblance to Charlie Bubblegum from The Mighty Boosh?) to open on FB, so I'm pleased to have scratched that itch. I don't know whether to laugh or cry about it tho'! I might fancy the Allis Chalmers bucket for doing my garden!

Argh - no stop it :cry: I love p6s.

Autoshite is moving from where I thought it was :oops:

 

 

I know - I have posted a few more but was not going to bother anymore. Proton posts and other drivel are filling it up here too much these days.

What's the story with the abandoned musso?

Was not given any info on it - the 1 of the Rovers they were keen to talk about though.

Bump for a real Fred.

 

'Tis true that it's annoying that great spotz threads like this sink so quickly. The last three or four updates were new to me because of this.

 

Are those pictures of the garage where the dusty Cavalier, 800, Astra etc are for sale recent? It looks exactly the same as when the place was last mentioned on here!

Rootes, have you seen the MK3 Escort with the EPIC underseal tidemark a few yards from that Transit?

Posted

superb spots i love the way you always come across something shite and abandoned which would be worth a fortune in parts, this is the real autoshite :D
