What's the silver car third from top right?
Merc 190?
Or do you mean the Escort on top of the van thing?

Ah, maybe the Audi Avant estate - just noticed that too!
4 door Vauxhall Nova?

Poor old late bay window bus in there too, very odd mix of old cars surrounded by new, and all piled up without being stripped of parts. Wasteful.

HA Viva SL....Surely some parts on there would have been useful to somebody? Bumpers look straight for a start!

's'about right for a 10 year old Classic.....I remember seeing them at that age, all giffer polished with the sidelight pods hanging out of the wings. Right old mudtrap up under the headlamps and the bonnets never seemed correctly aligned either - possibly to do with the forward hingeing being mounted in such a rot-prone area.

There's actually a 1998 Mondeo up on our local bombsite car-lot at the moment which looks far more solid at 24 years old than 10 year old Fords ever did in the Seventies. Sooner have a Classic 315, but still.....

And people seem to harp on about how bad BL/Austin Rover did shonky shit in the 70s/80s.
