Thumbs down Cossie graveyard!

Such bad form leaving them in that state. The owner deserves a slapping tbh. Link to more pics.

There just lying there, it's not a ford meet.

Saw the link posted on RSOC forum, more pics on that link and quite a few cars there, monte, 3dr and a load of saphs right next to a main road too if that was in the UK they would all be bare shells by now

Is a shame and begs the question of why? why would you have all those legends just sitting there?

Fuck me, I want them all, Espectally that monte.

We should track him down and make him an offer on the lot. Some of them must be worth repairing. And theres enough being broken in this country to swap them to RHD.

Its propper gutting to see that. I want to rescue them all

I count 19
Average price say 4k for the Sierras and 9k for the Escorts as they're probably slightly fucked = approx. Ł91k!

And they are worth more abroad arent they?! A LOT of money sitting there!

Such a waste! Agree, just makes you want to save them all!

Well the Bloke might have had them in a big shed, Moved house and is now waiting on the new shed to be built (Glass always half full)

Dont look like the grass has grown to much around them.

Must be a nice area to live ... Suprised the wheels and stuff havent been lifted off them .. I know they would be shells around here after a a few month.

They dont use road salt over there so they are probably in good order. I think he is probably waiting for all the other ones in the uk to rot and then he is in the money!
