One thing this thread shows, is why barn finds are so much better than lane finds, those would still be ok condition if in a barn probably!

Even your barn would have kept them in good condition, they might even have snow on top protecting them

That's all they are to a lot of people mate, same as Sierras in general also - no passion or enthusiasm from some. Simply an old car they used to drive from A to B and now old and worthless in their eyes.

I'm 99% sure I recognise the rs1600i, if so used to belong to a chap in Brandon, Suffolk, who worked at OMAR HOMES, and at time had a Kamei body kit on it, he sold it two days later buyer crashed it had it repaired and sold it, as was getting done for no insurance!!

Someone please go and get them! is there not a farm house or anything around? I doubt they would be missed if you claimed them, but what is the law on this? Finders keepers anyone?
