On Sunday Len and I celebrated Len's new-found bipedalism by visiting a place that appeared on Brown recently. I'd say it has been a croft/smallholding at one time but instead of filling the field with goats and chickens, like a normal crofter, or incongruous antique farming implements and horrid Ikea crap, like the "escape to the country" types that populate most of the countryside, this chap has chosen to fill his field with old cars.
Len took this picture. The owner seems to have a soft spot for VWs and there are quite a few Minis but other than that there is virtually nothing that has ever been desirable. I'm told there's a Mk1 Escort in there somewhere but if there is it's the only OSF, not even a Corsair or aircraft carrier.

I don't think I've ever seen a Fiat 1100 before but I saw two on Sunday.

There was a corner full of this sort of thing. I'm pretty sure this had a Rover badge on the boot.

This is a Lanchester of some kind

There were quite a few Talbot Sambas in there. There was plenty from the French side of the Talbot family tree but I don't remember seeing anything from the Rootes side.

Peugeot 604, probably beyond saving. The VW beside it is also beyond saving but I bet somebody would do it anyway

Reasonably intact Type 2. There is a split screen version there too, which somebody has added in the comments for that picture.

Cars that sit on their belly as soon as you stop the engine best for parking in muddy fields.

I didn't notice at the time but I'm pretty sure this is an early Clubman.

Check out the forest inside this.

I think these look quite smart

I'll finish with a Volvosaurus for now and let Len post some of his pictures.
