Defo a Fiat coupe', sadens me that older cars like the minors and cortina have been kept on the road all this time, and all the careful owners they've had, to be left to rot in a field by some nugget.

yep a fiat coupe suppose it wasnt really that hard to guess.. the doo and wing kinda give it away lol...

always the case, every car that is on here or abandoned across the world was once someones pride and joy that they were excited to pick up from the showroom... now they're rotting back into the earth..

For a start, I'd be fine with a set of Sapphire Cosworth wheels...

One problem: too far for pickup

Why would someone want to do that? Its a collection of cars not just one or two that seem in 'ok' condition. Looks as though they've been bought just for them to be kept them in a field.

even if thats true, he could at least have sold them or sold parts, instead of letting them rot into the ground

If you want a slice of the cake you will need to speculate the bus fair to meet at Dover, in assumption that you will accumilate your funds back once the jobs done

surely he could find "dry" storage for them at least?

Does anyone know what the deal is with the cossie graveyard? Is the guy a breaker or has he been a collector who's got fed up and just left them all in his field to rot away?

theres a few rumours as to whats going on over there,,,,, think he was some kind of collector , he sells them but apparantly at unreasonable prices..

if i ever went there.. i dont actually think id ever want to leave!! id love to give them all a wash and get them on some concrete floors.

.......in exchange for the least rusty cossie there haha
