Multiple classic cars found abandoned in a garden then morris marina smashed up banger racing

We found a derelict house in a town centre with a garden full of classic cars, we cleared tonnes of rubbish, chopped trees and fences down to save it but the Morris marina ended up being banger raced and smashed to pieces. At least Jeremey Clarkson will be happy.

Well that was well worth it..bangered a classic that could have been sold to someone who would save it

[@RimsNPipes]

Far to gone to be saved unfortunately and all saveable parts were saved and gone to marina enthusiasts

[@Andrew-ib7us]

Morris marinas are rare they should have been restored criminal

can't save everything. Years ago, I had a P4 Rover project turned out to be a lot worse than I thought and then lost storage for it, advertised it for spares or repair but no interest except from a couple of guys who wanted it for banger racing in a large Rover meet. I kept a few bits from it but otherwise I needed to get rid of it so it would have gone to the scrapyard , i remember seeing a few photos of it after they'd prepared it and it looked far better than it ever did when i had it, so looks can be deceiving when you see what look like good condition cars - it was pretty rotten underneath. It ended up going out in a blaze of glory, being smashed up and the final memento i have is the bonnet mascot removed as the car was crushed in the scrapyard.

They were good finds, been there years. Always looking for more though...

[@bulldog1066jpd]

Couldn't help notice the other "Gems" there like the Austin A70.... what's the story around the ownership of these car..... hopefully you only banged the shite and not the more valuable cars

[@nickb5391]
