My garage landlord told me ...

[Station]

They're currently clearing out garages that the owner's have long since forgotten about and there are 30 cars to be removed.

 

I'm going to try and query if there is anything 'worthy', I'd bet there's at least a few cars in there that are deemed 'barn finds'. Here's one knackered old thing being dragged out of the one a few up from mine:

 

 

The bloke is trying to free up the rear wheels, but resorted to just dragging it away.

Where are you? Not wanting the actual address, just what town.....

[Station]

On The Wirral.

[FredTransit]

That's a bit far for me to drag street furniture from.

[Alexg]

I bet there is something class in one of them, I can feel it in me bones. I'm guessing an old 70s Renault or Maxi....

[warren t claim]

Please pm me the location and maybe we can do something. Ta.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

A-frame is of course available for heroic rescues.

[Mike D]

I will offer up a towing vehicle for Mr. B's A frame if there is any heroic rescuing to be done

[Minimad5]

Please pm me the location and maybe we can do something. Ta.

Give me a shout if you plan something

Will give them a ring on Monday! I suspect it's going to be easier for someone to take a few than them doing it, hopefully.

My dad was once working on an old property for an elderly fella and needed to clear some adjacant lock up garages. The elderly guy hadnt been in them for years but thought there may be an old car in one, which my dad could have for free if he got rid of it.

 

My dad crow bar'd open one of the run down garages... to find.. A jaguar XK120! Unfortunatley my dad had broken into the wrong garage and had to fix the door.

 

I may throw my had into the ring for a garage find.. should any goodies be found. I can even move some about for people as I too own a tow car.

I thought I'd got a 'disused garage' find on my hands a while back. I was sure from the description I'd been given, that I had an original '76 Honda CB400/4 within my grasp.

I forgot to factor in the vendors complete lack of knowledge of motorbikes, and my own over-enthusiastic imagination...and ended up with a '76 CZ!

I paid too much for it. Well, a tenner would've been too much. I exceeded 'a tenner' by some margin. Lesson learned!

If there is an old Rover 800 amongst that lot, then let us know. Although I wouldnt be able to take anything myself (I dont have a car that works/on the road) I'll post it up on the Rover 800 site.

Keep an eye out for Japanese tat.

 

Dibs on the mint condition 3000 miles Tredia laid up after the owner died in 1985.

[Mr Lobster]

. I'm guessing an old 70s Renault

If there is, let me know. I'm sure it could be 'sorted'

[Dukestar25]

Triumph or Skoda shite would be worthy of investigation

Can supply a tow vehicle, or with some notice a flatbed recovery truck.

 

Although the tow vehicle would take longer to get there than the truck !
