Just read the article in this months Practical Classics magazine about this guy,he bought 50 classics from all over the world for his 50th birthday just to let them rot in a forest,the only stipulation was the cars had to be from the year 1950,the year he was born. And they are all pretty much rare and unusual cars. The mind boggles.

The cars include..
Porsche 356
Mercedes Benz 170V
Rolls Royce silver Dawn
Cirroen Traction Avant
Bmw 340
Renault 4CV
A 1950 ripple bonnet 2CV which is used as a bottle bank
One of only 6 remaining AC Petites
Buick special that had been completely restored by a previous owner only for Micheal to let it rot in the mud.
etc etc etc....

His road car Silver Shadow was in a fire where the outside and interior was burned,he fixed up the car mechanically and presumably the interior,and now drives it. Probably the ultimate Rat look motor. Nice plate too.

Interior is a bit strange...

Its a shame, Id be looking at what he had left at entry level, with a view to trying to improve it.

I thought first that it was another closed scrapyard from the 50s until I started to read the article. Definitely not in good taste.:mad:

Looks like the left wheel is fake to give the impression that when he is driving on his own it looks like no one is at the wheel.
I like it!

That "Viper" is a modified Rekord, its been for sale for some time, a friend in Germany who is a big old school Opel fan has sworn to buy it as his first purchase if he ever wins the lotto. :rolleyes:
