Right first of all im sorry for the swhite picture, I took it on my mobile and I was in a rush. I spotted this car when I was out on my mountainbike after work. You would never notice it if you drove past because its behind a dry stone dyke in a field with cows. Its got no badges or names on it that I can see. It does have the remnants of a number plate - JRG 228F which has 1967 stamped onto the side of it. It looks like It would have been a bloody nice motor back in the day, its got chrome fixtures and leather seats and a great slab of an engine which looks like a straight six on carbs to me, but Im no expert. As you can see it looks like its been left to rot for many years. There are another two old cars in the same field that are in an even worse state than this one, I dont know what kind they are either I will see If i can borrow a digi cam and take some photos.
