Wow that's nice is it an austin cambridge? How long has it been there?


Austin A90 Westminister.

probably around 30 years. i think it was owned by my granfathers cousin or something originally. its been sitting out there as long as i can remember.
when i was really young i remember climbing in it. the interior was a bit nicer back then. a nice dark red colour if i remember correctly.

yea, because it has been sitting pretty much the same spot on the farm my whole life i never really took notice of it. I kinda wish i had done , as it might have been a bit more savable 20years ago. I took those photos a few weeks ago, so yes, its still there.
I too have grown a bit fond of them after seeing pics like these.
