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

junkyard · 2007-05-20 01:00:25

This week outside Dungourney Co. Cork. A Triumph Mayflower, a Saab 96, a couple of Renault 4's and an old Land Rover (not in the picture) next to a house. There were a couple of vile purple coloured Talbot Sunbeam's too but I didn't think they were worth photographing tbh.:rolleyes: :)

The front wings are different, especially the wheel arch. The door is probably the same, knowing Ford's talent for raiding the parts bin

More than likely you are correct. Ford were not the only maufactor to "rob the parts bin" The Series Land rovers, during the British Leyland days, had parts from nearly every model of the time used to build them.
Mini parts especially.

Didn't even the E Type have parts from fairly mundane cars?

So did Aston Martin and so did Jensen with the Interceptor and probably loads of others too.

now i go down that road every now an then & always wondered what was under the tarp on that truck & the heavy wind last week must have blown the car & the cover off !

Hmmm, A Volvo 240 Turbo. Now that's a rare one, especially for on Irish plates.

Suddenly the thoughts of dropping a Volvo 850R engine into one of them comes to mind.......
