Brilliant pictures Jeff. As sad as it is to see these cars rotting away, it is important to document them before there is no evidence that they ever existed.
As said earlier, there are some really nice models here. There are also some very salvageable high spec interiors that really should be saved if possible. Just look at those hockey-stick arm rests on the MG and GSi cars!
Do we know if the owner plans to do anything with the cars? It would be a shame to lose everything on these examples.1985 Austin Montego 2.0HLS x 2

The owner of the cars wasn't there as he rents the space.
I have given my telephone number to the site owners who will contact the cars owner in due time.
Please don't ask for the location as I wont tell anyone. Told the owners of the site that so they let me lose on the carsLast edited by Jeff Turbo; 17th December 2013, 13:59.1958 Ford Consul Convertible. I love this car

I wonder how bad some of them are structully as sills etc can be replaced!!! How bad was the Marina? Going by the panel between the rear lights it was a posh one in its day. Tail lights say Mk2. Maybe hopefully the owner will eventually gets in touch. If he paying for out door storage will he know how overgrown they have become as they wont be worth that much to many people out with this forum or a few select other forums. Scrapman maybe but that about it id recon really.Morris Marina 1.3sdl 78

I didn't look over the Marina and didn't want to uncover the Camero as I was only interested in the Montegos and Maestros.
Once i'd found the mega rare early radios and mega rare one shot switches I was just a little excited1958 Ford Consul Convertible. I love this car

I didn't have a close look at the Marina mate but it's an HL, as for the other cars I would have to drag any out and have a real good look. None look salvageable but you never know.1958 Ford Consul Convertible. I love this car

What a great find. Shame theyve been wasted but hopefully it will come in handy for those rare parts that you lot need. Its making me want another one to do up. I havent finished the first one yet! Hopefully they will all be saved to some degree even if its parts only.
