..in the middle of nowhere too.

 

Do I spy a Renner 4 next to the Hillman (picture 7 I think) and what looks like Nova (Antibes?) seats in the CF?

Blue Mk1 Fezzer looks like it was quite tidy.

 

Mini 'Cooper' is yet another bloody replica. I hope its engine got pinched for a Metro.

the old Renner has been there ages. Solid enough shell but hardly any parts remain.

 

not sure about the seats in the CF - my Brother in Law had a D reg Nova Antibes, totally orginal example with about 50k on the clock. It ran well too - he only sold it about 4 years ago - £150.

 

I often look back and kick myself that I didnt buy it but I had 5 cars and was living back home at my parents at the time so it was a no go.

That Astravan is very tidy indeed. No real, clear signs of rot on it at all. Being a 'J' plate, it'll be about the last of them in that guise. Infact, I don't think I've ever seen an estate van version that late before.

 

The Escort looks like a local Forrows jobbie too. Shame... All my father's old company Fords (mostly Escorts) back in the early nineties were from Furrows in Shrewsbury.

I wonder if that CF is a well-known custom from the 70s/80s? Be a shame if so.

 

Where's Ratdat when you need him?!

I was only thinking yesterday that I need to ring them about the R4 they've got in. Don't think I'll bother now...

 

[Cavcraft]

No saveable bits there Lob?

Bar the dunt its taken on the front, that red Sherpa flatbed looks very tidy

I could really do with finding one with a completeish interior. Won't be that one....

What's the car on its side? (B467 JUY to the left of the Minx)

It's the bonnet from the Renault 4 stacked above.
