Looks cool, but did he just buy them to sit there and rust away, isn't that a bit of a waste???

NginEEr · 26-06-2009, 10:21 AM

id love alot of the vehicles in there, such a shame they have been left to rot away

kidsRS · 26-06-2009, 10:24 AM

He said he had good use out of most of them but never sold any just parked them up for retirement he has some very large barns full of stuff which i havent seen in. Things he could take to shows so basically all the shit is outside crazy!

looks like 'mata out of 'cars'

Rich170 · 26-06-2009, 10:38 AM

I agree, can't see the point of that really. There's some rare vehicles there, could be protected from the elements a bit!

Just looks like a council estate

Less. · 26-06-2009, 10:55 AM

Some very rare vehicles there I can never see the point in collecting them then letting them rot away

Matt Evans · 26-06-2009, 11:00 AM

How much land has your friend got? Looks to be quite a sizeable area that.

Be good to see what he's got tucked away in the barns as well.

paul thornton · 26-06-2009, 11:24 AM

loads of farmers tend to do this for some reason, buy vehicles run them into the ground then buy something else and leave the old ones to rot away. Must be because they have the space to do so, theres quite a few around our way. theres a lad i know whoes uncles got an escos monte bought it brand new, tuned it up to fuck then got bored with it so tried to sell ( this is about 10 - 12 yrs ago btw) couldnt sell it for the stupid money he wanted back for it so put it in a barn on his farm, a damp barn, last time my mate saw it was about 2 years ago, its not been ran for years and years, rust everywhere and all the leather, carpets etc full of green mould, fucked basically. obviously doesnt need the money but also to stubern to take a loss on it. the car was very well known locally in its day, ive metioned it to a few people and theyve all said the same thing,"na it cant be that car it was absolutly mint last time i saw it" but it is. Ive never met the guy who owns it but everyone says hes a bit of a dick! Think thats obvious though!

kidsRS · 26-06-2009, 12:59 PM

Get yourself round there get sum picys!

carlo · 26-06-2009, 01:20 PM

Waste imho they could all even be helping save other old vans,lorries,cars ect

cozzfather · 26-06-2009, 02:07 PM

i love old commercials likr that lot,can see a 305 van which were good vans and i had one.

if you tell people where the place is expect the council to turn up mob handed and force the land owner into getting shut. they class it as hazadours nowadays and have the power to make you clean up.

there was a 2cv nutter by us who had about 250 allover the gaff on his land and he got taken to court and forced to scrap them. he genuinely was a eccentric old git who loved them but some cockhead councillor who didn't give a fuck got his own way.

they have pics like this in practical classics magazine,people love finding old gems and saving them or using them for bits.

trip998 · 26-06-2009, 02:21 PM

reminds me of when i were tut lad. an old guy near us had a field full of rubbish that he called a scrap yard. none of those stackers or anything like that just mad old stuff everywhere. about '81 we bought a running beetle from him for £15. we took off the body and blatted about the fields in it much to the farmers disgust. only problem was it was a bit hard to hide so the old bill took it away. the old boy at the yard collected all the Austin 1300's morris wolsley etc on his drive. about 30 of them. mental old boy. council closed him down in the end. good old days

kidsRS · 26-06-2009, 02:29 PM

The bloke who owns it has sum telephone pilons in his field which the council pay him say 1 pound a month to have them in his field they once told him to clean them up and he told them if he had to do that he would chainsaw down all there pilons,

cozzfather · 26-06-2009, 04:58 PM

if he ever does get rid and retires from storing old treasures i'm certain the readers of practical classics would like to see them pics,theres somthing nice about old 50's and 60's commercials when they are restored all shiney shiney. theres a bloke i know resto'd a old 1920's dennis charabanc.

roscopeco · 26-06-2009, 05:03 PM
