    Thats a sad end to a nice car.
    It was bought new in '69 by Matt Gilroy, a mining director.

    Not really abandoned, as the owner claims it's sold, but buyer has dissappeared.

    Museum of Industry and Science (Manchester)

    Electric car from the 80s (I presume). It has been restored at some stage (according to a sticker on the rear window) but it seems that it's just sitting at the same spot for quite a while.

    Mid 1970s. N reg is August 1974 to July 1975.

    It's an Enfield 8000. I've seen a few of them before. Heavy ol' things with all those lead-acid batteries. Think they have drum brakes all round too.

    From what I remember of Hvar, it wouldn't surprise me in the least to discover that those were daily drivers.

    The chrome down the middle of the bonnet would make me say a Morris something. Like the Morris 1100 had etc but not the Austin

    Only if you insist that they remove it from the shed as part of the deal. You can be guaranteed that they will leave it there.

    However, if you want rid of it, just mention in passing that you are interested in classic cars, and they can leave it there if they want. This will result in a 2K jump in the asking price, which you refuse to pay. You can then be guaranteed that the shed will be cleared of everything. :)

    Top of the class. You are, there is a Mk3 Cortina in the bush outside too, not a sign of it now all disentrigated and covered over!! Some useful parts in both but as you can see the clowns are putting bricks through the glass and number plates and emblems are gone!

    That's it and just up the road from it at the abandoned garage, there are quite a few old tractors in long grass. One or two of them very old indeed, international cubs and such.
