Today I saw an abandoned classic and took a pic thread!

Used to be a Datsun 140J on a beach nearby to me similar to that, though its probably entirely gone now.

Hey There,

Thats down near Knockanarrigan in Wicklow, Im a local there and from what I know that jeep has been sitting there for years, ever since I was a kid or young teen now Im 22. No harm in checking who owns it u mat get a sale as it has not been touched in at least a decade or so.

The original Octavia. Combi version must be scarce nowadays?

If you really want one you can go and get them in Czech.. there is relatively plenty of them because people are not that stupid to crush them..

this one is for 600 euro

Saw them before and took some pictures today. The Great Island, Cork.

After the bridge go left towards Cobh and you will see them on right side after mile or two.

Two Mercs, that is obvious but what types? anyone... ?

carchaeologist

They look like 1950s Mercedes 170Ds?

mb1725

Certainly a 170, shame to see them out in all weathers.

The one with external boot hinges is pre 1952.

zilog_jones

I drove by those two Mercs over the weekend as well, was gonna post here about them but had no camera so didn't bother. They look a lot more rotten close up

Dades

Not one I saw personally - but one from National Geographic's 2011 Photo Contest...
(Somewhere in the UK - anyone know what it is?? An old Ford?)



This (and all the other pics) can be seen here.

Big Nasty

Mk I Granada I reckon.

kev1.3s

.........the first one is a 170V but I reckon the second one is a 220, circa '53 !

Shame to see them like that !

What an odd thing, but the Jag that replaced the above (XJ 140) in 1995, through to 1997 was identified as an X300. That would be a cool reg to have in that case. Pity it's on the wrong car!

rugbyman

Hello OKI, glad to help .
it is on the road from Collon to Mullary(south of Dunleer) in County Louth. . That road crosses the M1 and the car is closer to the M1 than to Collon. You cannot access that road from the M1, you will need to get on the old road from Momasterboice to Dunleer and take the road opposite the Mullary Inn.
it was on the edge of the road , cannot miss it.

Regards, Rugbyman

If you come up in your TR3 with its ZY reg, have lunch in Donegans , your car and reg are sure to be a hit.

Such a shame, I saw an early type in the Deutsche Museum during my last visit to Munich, I am a big fan of Mercedes cars.

Hi Rugbyman

Many thanks for the info.
The TR3 in not mine but a friends he has owned it since the 70's
As another mentioned in the post and is very correct what a reg for an X300..

Cheers J

Thats a Mazda 818, and its been in that yard a good while.

Spare parts would be non existant!
