What an amazing collection of shit, there are only a max of half a dozen cars there I'd consider worth saving even in good nick!

I think I've asked before but did you spot any Aussie shite in there? Quite a few V8s ended up in Scotland when the oil guys were earning lots of money.

How long has this 'collection' being building up?
In a couple of the pics it looks like a tree has grown and tipped a car over into a Subaru pickup.

A lot of junk there (that Alfasud is spectacular - and didn't live long enough to make it onto the DVLA computer) but also a LOT of coin. The Beetles would yield a lot of rare trim, the T2 Vans and pick ups are worth enough to rebuild now.

405's in abundance. I can sense a van being rented and these being stripped for panels and bits. Most farmers know the value of their stuff to the last farthing though.

Strange how at home that P38 looks in a field of scrapped, older cars. As said, though, some of that VW trim will have survived and be valuable - the only things that can destroy some T2 and Beetle interior parts are Dubbers. Really do like pics like this, more so than car show ones!

Really good photos. Don't think I've seen that many 305 together. Amazingly they have a Fiesta. Do they sell bits?
These are some words.
