Thats a bit of an under statement ....
( taken from a post by rotorhead in 2008 )
This is what I get for spending my afternoon looking through old threads! I'm fairly local to that garage
The Rover P4 used to be owned by a Doctor, Doctor McDonald to be exact. Used to visit my Dad in the late 50s, early 60s when he was a child. He can't remember the exact year, thinks it was 1954. Original Meath reg too, ZN 3209. He reckons it was lying there since the early 70s. Suicide rear doors
The O Neils like holding cars, my Dad told me of a 1967 Anglia that was crashed in 1968 was brought to that garage and was still there over 40 years later... Just in the door is a Zodiac, 1964. Can't remember how long it was there, since the 70s he thinks.
Orange Manta was theirs, TAI 333. Drove till the engine gave up and parked up, since the early 80s.
Most of those cars are gone a few years, to where I don't know. Dad was sad to see the Rover gone (and annoyed to see it left to rot) he hopes it went to an enthusiast to be restored
In the field behind and to one side of the shed in the pic were more cars. For years there was a pair of Escorts beside the shed just visible from the road, long gone now0 -

I got that Rover p4 a few years back, a total and utter wreck, which was sad to see, would have been nice if it was restorable.0 -

Well at least we know where it went! It was lying there for the guts of 40 years...
Cheers for sharing your story 0 -
