Ye more of your field finds and driveway discoveries
Ford Consul Classic 1500
Two genuine barn finds from a hoard in the West of Cumbria that was recently uncovered after the owner passed away. This 1962 Ford Classic 1500 was once green, now in very poor condition due to the salt air. If anyone has a serious interest in any of the vehicles, Ken Dover from Keswick can arrange contact with the family.

James says
‘Yet another array of sleeping beauties. Having yanked more than a few barn finds away from the jaws of death, hopefully many of these cars will be rescued someday.'
Wolseley 1500
A Wolseley 1500 in another shed; the buildings will be cleared eventually over the next twelve months or so. Also available are an Austin A35, BMW Isetta bubble car, an MGB, some Minis including a Countryman, and lots of spares and numerous motor bikes including a few Honda 50s.
Opel GT
John Lovatt found a pair of abandoned Opel GTs in Gerlach, Nevada, USA (population: 120). They hadn’t moved since John last spotted them 25 years ago!
Riley Elf
A Riley Elf lost in the woods, as found by Chris Beasley, rusting in peace in Northamptonshire. It may be beyond saving, but it makes for a quite dramatic scene.
VW Beetle
Steve Crompton saw a VW Beetle Convertible stored safely on a Colchester driveway. It looks quite solid and complete, but has been exposed to the elements for some considerable time.
Vauxhall Cavalier coupé
There’s a thriving classic car scene on the Shetland Islands according to holidaymaker Alastair Bridge, who came across this fabulous patina-laden Cavalier coupé from 1977.
