NSU Ro80

Plenty of lovely condition classics are on show inside the museum, but the rotters like this rare NSU Ro80 (minus grille) are left outside.

Rover 2000 P6

Acomplete Sixties-era Rover 2000 displaying an array of colourful patina across its dark green panels. For those who would like to visit, the location is Wynland Auto Museum.

Seat 600

The premises belong to a gentleman who is an avid collector of all things classic, and supplies cars for the South African film industry, although all the rusty cars outside like this cute Seat 600 are just keepsakes.

Pontiac Streamliner

This split-screen Pontiac is in a row of much further corroded cars, hoping one day it will be transformed into an exotically painted street-rod of some sort.

Austin A55 Cambridge

Older cars on site like this Austin A55 Cambridge are really showing their age with heavy decay of the top surfaces, but many are still structurally solid (unlike the somewhat more rotten Thirties/ Forties cars on site).

Jaguar Mk2

All the rusty old classics in this collection, like this Jaguar Mk2, have had their engines removed and stored safely indoors, but many are too far gone for repair.

Daimler DS420 Hearse

Considering only 5000 or so Daimler
