Hello.
Well, I was bored today, as my bedroom is being decorated so theres nothing to do but help !!!, And i thought no way to that. so i headed up to an old , what looks to be abandoned Breakers yard up the road to Me. So i went up there and in the front i found An Old Worseley ... and Riley ... Here are the pics
But living in the world we do, Some yobos thought it would be a great idea to smash some windows !!!

Awesome! love finding stuff like that. Save them!

[stickycreambun]

such a shame the windows have been put through, the interior will rot in weeks like that. nice find though.

[Mini-Mad-Craig]

Yeah it is a shame about the windows. The thing is, i know alot of the boys that do things like that. THeyve got no respect for Things, and it really pee's me off when its somthing as rare as this. WHat do they get out of putting brick through the windows ??? theyre stupid.

The interior is really nice to, looks like what youd get in an old Super deluxe, not sure what Cars theese are though.

Awesome! love finding stuff like that. Save them!

I wish i could save them, but according to my next door neibour. the place is owned by some Pikies, and down really want to get involved with them, not sure if its true though, as theyve sat in the same positions for many years now, at least 10, scince weve moved here. But there actully in a really good condition, Not as bad as the photos suggest.

Dude.. There'll be no harm in asking.. Its a similar situation to me here.. I joined because I found a Clubman Estate in a sad but saveable state near my house. It too had been sitting there for YEARS.. And I kept putting off asking the owner if i could buy it/save it.. And in the end.. It was taken away! I only found out because i was about to ask the guy to give me the owners number.. (i had been talking to this guy before)..

Get me? Act now! Before its too late!!

worth asking even if you just left a note there somewhere where it will be found

[Mini-Mad-Craig]

Yeah great idea, Ill get on it tommorow, What you reckon this note should say.

There has been vairous attempts of getting rid of this place though, wther its the owner or not, Its been set on fire loads of times. All the cars are left unlocked, the hinges have seized, but alot of them are just left open. I wouldnt get right inside one for better pics or anything just yet, because there might be Drug needles ect in there...

Has that tractor unit been dumped there as well ?

Are there any other classics there ?

As people have said i would try saving the cars !

[Mini-Mad-Craig]

Yeah its like a BigRig Lorry !!! been there years. Smashed windows !!!. There are just the two on the photos in the front of the place, but apparently theres more out the back, but cant check because of this big Metal thing THe Fire Dept Put up years ago to stop people getting in.

They really don't look in too bad condition mate, a Wolseley 1500 and a Riley 1.5. I'd say they were an easy resto, where abouts in the country are they?
From what I remember they don't go for huge money but I've heard they are nice cars, a nice inbetween between the mini and the larger farina range, the morris oxfords/austin cambridge etc.
Well worth saving anyhow, I'd investigate further.

[Mini-Mad-Craig]

Hiya Elfie.
Yeah there pretty good. There in kent at mo. Gotta save em before They get towed away

[Wessie28]

they'll end up with a h frame and a roof fin if you dont hurry up !
