That little red sedan looks like a stuffed Cooper.

That lot should be used for land fill.

In amongst the great sad lot at least two woody van,s , if you came across a graveyard like this out the back of Bourke the interiors would be toast but the sheet metal in good nick, this collection of BMC wastage was driven on salted roads and parked out in the frost and snow, crying shame.

Actually Farnham would possibly be one of the better places in England for a yard of cars. They may not be as bad as imagined. :?

What a crying shame.
Plenty of good stainless grills and trim.
And few good motors.
