Found this years ago on an urban exploration forum, it appears to be a stolen sierra cosworth, dumped in a dis-used railway tunnel.



Went down to see if I could get a closer look a couple of years ago, but there was a new housing development and they had put up big barbed wire fences to the entrance, could be a 4x4 with a fresh 200 block Some poor sod is probably still wondering what happened to his pride and joy!

 

Wounder that!!!

Quick patch up and it'll be fine

 

could just be a gl with cossie wheels davie

 

Love seeing stuff like that, it intrigues me somewhat.

Me and a few friends found a similar disused tunnel round my way with what look to be a pair of Mk1 Fiestas that have been ditched at the end, both in a bad state where theyve been thrown from a great height.

Anyone got any other similar pics?

I'm sure theres a thread on Retro Rides with loads of pictures of the same type of stuff. . .

 

looks like its seen better days

 

jacko could fix that

cheers james

Thats one hell of a cool pick.

 

A few people have been down over the years and confirmed it is a cossie col!

Tregmatt, Photo is taken in an old railway tunnel in Glasgow!

got a couple more pics i'll look to see if ive still got them

*found 2 more*

 

Was out on the mountain bike a few weeks back and came across a couple of burnt out shells, dunno what they were as they look like they had spent a while there but 1 thing that amazed us was how the fucking hell they got there, wasnt the best terrain for a bike and very very doubtful you could have got a tractor up there too.

 

what are the rear arches like mate?lol

cheers james

 

sad

 

did you see the allegro in that link,its actually collapsed with rust

 

how long has it been there davie?

 

No idea really col, think the first time I saw the pic of it was about 2003?

 

cheers davie i seen that photo before but i didnt now were it was

 

Great link thanks! This is gonna keep me busy, 160 pages on the thread

 

i love finding cars like that.i know where theres a yard full of rotters.ill try and get some pics of fiesta,escorts,sierras and granadas all lying at the bottom of the cliffs close to me.

 

Thought this was the one.

Didn't some people get engine bay pics? People were asking if the head was ok.

 

Thats the thread, I had done pages 1-100 already and have just skimmed the last 60odd, theres a couple of RS1600i's, an Astra GSi, loads of old Fords (Cortina's, Granada's, Escorts), a Pulsar GTi-R, Mazda 323 GTR etc etc

 

such a shame aint it and love that link gunna keep me bust for the next week or so

 

I think its sad seeing pictures of cossies like that.. Did they find out if the head is ok?

 

+1

 

wooooooah! you'd have thought someone would remove it! surely it's nicked if it's left in such a silly place

 

That's been sat there about 8 years IIRC

 

chop, one end there's a big housing development, so no chance of getting the car out that way unless they use a big hiab and lift it from above, the other end is the same really....

I want to go and see the engine bay and see if theres anything left

 

Cool find all the same

 

The poor car.A lick of paint and it will be as good as new.

 

Had that saph in tunnel pic as my pc background for ages now. Always wondered where it was and if anymore pics .

Mart.

 

There is probably plenty more cars for people to find around the UK, I wonder how many RS500's or RS200's are about that have been forgotten about and just left as "an old car"

 

So who's up for a midnight tunnel scavange? lol

 

 

I'm genuinely interested as to whether it's still there.

Looks like a 2wd - can't see any holes for bonnet vents. Wonder if the VIN was still legible?

 

Sad when you see these cars left to rot

 

Might go and take a look one night this week with a mate who's up for it

 

Would make an interesting resto thread ,lol

 

Just found this exploure on 28days.

http://www.28dayslater.co.uk/forums/...light=cosworth

 

Shows how desperate the spares situation is that people are considering looking at the block and head of a years old burnt out wreck

 

Is this cossie still there need a few bits lol!!!!!!!!!
