On the trailer is 1 of 197 Vauxhall Sporthatches ever made. Pulled from a grave and going to another one. Apart from the windscreen being smashed and front end bits missing, its actually 98% complete and a shame not to be restored!!

Some of those cars are fairly famous and either waiting to be restored or have been restored.

A few just seem to be in short term storage after a dusty day!

I think the "lets see the abandoned ones" on Retro Rides is better.If you not seen it be warned as it will take a few hours to get through as there is 328 pages

Some people are so attached to cars they would rather they went to ruin in there hands rather than let someone else have it to look after it.

I imagine rat look lovers are looking at most of those thinking "eh? standard car, innit?"

Sad to see some left like that!

Defo agree with that. I cant see why they cant let someone else have the car and look after it.
