Rust like that is what happens when you use cheap Russian steel and expose it to British weather.
👍 Beautiful colour for a Dino. Wonder how much one in that condition is worth?

I swear the majority of 1978 Corvette Pace-cars were left in barns and have less than a thousand miles.

It must be a really bad car if someone decides to put it away and never use it again after driving only 13 miles in it.

First car looks like a 64-65 Chevelle, the second car I'm not sure about. (looks like a Mopar of some sort), the third car is a Ford Maverick/Mercury Comet, and I can't see the last one.

wow quite rare, and considering it looks to be in a general dumping lot makes it all the more sad.

This is the Rover Factory in Longbridge, these photos were taken back in 2007...
Would love to get permission and take a look around this place someday!

Apparently, everything was left behind...
As well as that, when the guy who took those photographs entered - lights, computers, etc. will still on!
Apparently, that red MGF still had the keys in the ignition and still fired up after being abandoned for over 4 years (these photos were collected in 2008)

That's an incredible story, I'll look deeper into it, it's quite fascinating!

Most of the old Rover factory has been knocked down now and turned into apartments. Some of it still exists, it's where they assemble the part-built MG6's shipped in from China.

Why is there so much evil in this world
Made £132,250 at auction last weekend. A freshly restored one (white) made £250k at the same auction.

This right here...this right here is a crime. It's a damn Javelin and a 70s one with the nice front fender arches...this damn car was a great tool in Trans Am. Mark Donohue wouldn't like seeing this...rest his soul.

No classic muscle cars deserve that.
