Pics of abandoned /rotting large vehicles

Well i am thinking the Commercial Break section needs a similar thread to the

one in Classic cars for the old trucks n stuff you might spot left to die in the

corners of yards and in fields etc.

I did check all 12 pages to make sure there wasn't already one going.





These 2 coaches have probably been seen by many here as they are in a field by the sliproad

for the northbound A23 at Burgess Hill.

Recabbed and re-engined with an AEC lump - not sure if it's still there either - it was a snowplough originally IIRC

if that spitfire bonnet isn't rusted to death, then grab a hold and put on ebay, there worth a pretty penny as you can't get hold of them.

everyones going for fibreglass replacements, but the fit is naff.

Actually spitfire bonnets are available new at £1200.

But you are right £200 should be easy if it is decent

It was a snowplough in Aberdeenshire when new. Was unstoppable apparently. There was a feature in Aberdeen Press and Journal a few years ago, in the Wednesday "Your Cars" section. Could be more info on it out there.

Edit - have just found this pic. Although it's not actually the same truck it would have been part of the same fleet.
