Every now and again a mk 1 escort turns up but to see multiple 2 doors along with estates is amazing. Add in the capris, cortina gt and an Escort Nimbus Camper for good measure, an amazing find!

What the hell is wrong with people letting classic cars like those go to rot? It really beggers belief. It's so heart breaking to see.

My dad had a MK2 Cortina, and I was the owner of a MK2 1300 GL Escort 1979, that my dad bought brand new, then sold it to my elder brother, who then sold it to me, and I in turn sold it to my sister in law’s brother, who wrecked it. What a darn shame because it had been really looked after, getting wax oiled underneath every 2 years and was still pretty unmarked when I sold it in 1988.

My MK 2 Escort was a Friday afternoon car. It kept going wrong and had it broken into 7 times in 4 years. Worst mistake I made was buying it. It was W reg last of the MK2.

That red toolbox on the Triumph looked brand new. It looked like one of those really cheapo toolkits that you wouldn't mind leaving behind if you had to. I suspect a few bits are going to go missing on the poor old Fords in the very near future. It's a sad situation when you have places like these, where the owners probably refuse to sell anything when asked, but also never do anything with it and let it all rot. Eventually these places attract the explorers, the thieves and the vandals. Sadly, places and cars like this rarely have a happy ending...that P100 and a couple of those Mk1 shells didn't look too bad either. Lots of other interesting stuff hoarded away there too. Do you know if anyone has ever spoke to the landowner?
