autospeed graphics on that truck. was that a parade vehicle then? for those of you that don't know what autospeed are (shame on you. just kidding) its the organisation that is in charge of banger/stock car/rods racing in the southwest. well now its cornwall, taunton, and northampton.
as Ive said before. whilst it is sad to see cars in such a sorry state there's no denying that. its somewhat tranquil to see a collection like this altogether, like a site of rest. whatever anyone wants to call it, I call it amazing.

wowsers thats some awesome tin there. Riley RM, Armstrong Siddeley Sapphire, Standard Vanguard Sportsman, early Spitfires and possibly a Riley Pathfinder! Amazing British cars long forgotten. What an interesting place, the palm trees give it a kind of Carribean feel lol loving the armco bumper.

I don't what's more stunning, the photos or the collection. As Lew says, the palms give it that look that I'm not sure I would fully believe it was in Britain if I didn't know better.

There used to be a "yard" like this in the West Midlands, I remember going there and sitting in a Mark type Hawk, 60s Mazda Cosmo coupe, Austin Atlantic and a PB Cresta. A mate at the time had a Mk1 Civic (about a '76?) and a A40 Somerset and we were getting parts for one or both,
Never thought to take photos back then. But even then it was an amazing yard. I hear it was cleared for a housing development.
