Old scrapyard pics
These are the best for me - old black and whites: I'd say this was taken around 1965/6. MO Oxford (an early one), Humber Hawk, F Victor (scrap at 6-7 years old), Mark 1 Consul, Morris Six and an Austin A50. All 10-15 years old so could have been a bit earlier.

Re: Old scrapyard pics
If you'd spent 15 grand in 1988 on tatty 2 door Escorts and parked them in a dry barn, you'd have nearly half a million quid now. Bizarre.

Yep my other half said something along those lines the other day whilst we were talking about all the cars I have had and weighed inThe Reverend Bluejeans wrote: ↑Tue May 05, 2020 9:32 am If you'd spent 15 grand in 1988 on tatty 2 door Escorts and parked them in a dry barn, you'd have nearly half a million quid now.

If I had a time machine you'd never see me again...
In the Reverend's pic the Hawk appears to be a Mk. VI with accident damage. Probably not worth repairing at 10 years old even though it would just be a matter of changing panels - the separate chassis was a beefy affair. Funnily enough the cost and supply problems with front wheel bearings saw many of them off.

Re: Old scrapyard pics
Don't know where this is although the Ebay seller says it is 1975 which I see no reason to argue with.....Of particular interest is the AS3 A30 - the early car with round speedo. The A30/A35 Owners Club was already well established by then but even these now-rare versions were still fairly plentiful so it is unlikely to have been spared the baler.

Re: Old scrapyard pics
There is an early A30 in a garden in Sheffield, been there for 30 years or more. Every winter as the hedge recedes, out it comes.
