also in there, a 1950's rover, and the mess you can see, is bird shit
opened the door to this

from what he said he rents it, and had done for 43 years!!!!
the story i beleive is some lads rented it of him and never paid him any rent, ending up doing a runner and leaving the car there, from the looks of it, some one went back and took bits of it as it is missing turbo head ecu wheels etc
