john.r.davies Posted January 18, 2021 Report Share Posted January 18, 2021 Over on Pistonheads is a thread with this title, and yesterday (17/1/21) "PB5Nij" reported a TR4 (?A) in such a state. See https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=140&t=1563729&i=6380 , eight posts down, and the fourth in his series of pictures. Worth saving? Possible? The OP may tell where he saw it if you ask by PM. John Quote Link to post Share on other sites

john.r.davies Posted August 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2022 (edited) How sad! Anyone know why these cars were left to rot? Edited August 1, 2022 by john.r.davies Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Owner died, left to his son who owns the garage up the road, he wont deal with anyone unless he likes them and definitely no trade. Dave Ashworth did manage to get a TR5 out of there but in several pieces and over a couple of years. Oh and he does know the value of everything. Stuart.

RogerH Posted August 2, 2022 Report Share Posted August 2, 2022 For nearly 50 years a family near where I live had a Camero in the front garden. I believe the owner came to an untimely end and the family just left the car where it was last parked. A shrine in memory. It was covered in a blue tarpaulin to start with. With time the tarp' died and fell off. The elements attacked the car and it simply dissolved. Only this year was the car removed - possibly the remaining family members had also passed on. The original owner clearly loved the car - why else buy a big Yank job. The Camero, due to its lack of movement, had trapped what was a nice Morris Minor in the garage - this also died over the years, along with the garage. All so sad.
