It's somewhere on O'Callaghan's Strand: http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=52.664736,-8.631788&spn=0.004828,0.009645&z=17

That's a disc parking area though, and the housing on the other side of the road has private parking so I doubt it's there on a regular basis.

Spotted this Opel Kadett D in south Wexford. As far as I know it been in the same family since new (Irish Car) and is not too long sitting up and can be seen from the road where I took the terrible pic.

Here's an abandoned Peugeot 505 that I took a picture of two weeks ago,

Where is that? Might well be salvageable. 7 seater too.

Had one in 1998, paid €1200 for it, pound for pound the bast car I ever had, was a 5 seat estate. Had a W124 300TE which was a better car but cost a lot more to run.

It's in Meath, in a yard between Trim and Kinnegad.

oh craperooney

i passed a neighbours place last week with a bedford cf camper that was left there for years,he asked me did i want to take it away
it was better than that one but had no roof

they are a huge van inside and do wonder how hard would it be to slip in a transit engine into them

now i would have brought it home but i am still serving a 12 month ban from the wife

that aside.......where are you located and what kind of tractors has he???

My Father worked for an Ice cream van man in Clondalkin in the 1980's and he drove the Bedford CF vans.
I even helped to swop out a gearbox on it one evening which insured he was able to work the next day.
Loud when driven and the Gearbox was hard to select gears sometimes, but a great little van

Ah the memories,

Not sure if it's altogether "classic" but abandoned at any rate!

Looks like Swedish plates: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_registration_plates_of_Sweden

Norwegian plates are two letters, four numbers.

The dealer still exists too: http://www.upplandsmotor.se/

got a little excited when I heard about this, turned out to be a 1.0L still a shame to see it come to this end. The story goes if it's true that the owner was arrested some weeks ago in connection with a body being found somewhere I'ts a little far fetched I know but there doesn't seem to be an owner about to save her.

Would still be worth a save though, nice little runaround. Alloys are quite nice too.

a mate is looking into how she can legally be saved but he's against the clock it's due to be crushed next week!

Will it be crushed straight away or just taken to a scrapyard?

the lorry will arrive with the claw and make short work of it unfortunatly.

Spose theres no arguing with that is there...

kev1.3s

not really and you cant exactly put it on a trailer and bring her with you either, it's a shame but there doesn't seem to be a lot that can be done.
another pic.

To superboy....hey, I know you posted this pic of the 1962 Chevy Hearse a while back, May 2007 I think. My interest is in the red Toyota Carina next to it....probably long gone now, but could you please find out where it was...
