I love Simonrail's photos :thumbup: always informative.

Possibly late 80's based on the Cortina IV/V, Citoen ?BX, and the Sherpa in another series photo

Yes. Can't be 1970 like the caption says as that's a Mk 4 or 5 Cortina.

Continuing the automotive dump-trawling,

Orange 4-door MkII Escort, Toyota van (or one of those bloody Japanese Bedfords). Blue Cavalier I (?), red 2CV, White Transits, maroon Anglia (probably the oldest relic here), orange Transit or Bedford CF minibus, and behind those, quite possibly a blue Sierra body shell.

well, what else are Fridays for??

The picture is from an uncredited transparency so the 1970 date was a guess.

If you knowledgeable car enthusiasts say it dates from the 1980s I'm not going to argue!

I've been in "Spotter's Heaven" ever since I discovered these photos....

Believe that van is a Mazda 😉 Early E2200 or similar.

3 cars up from the orange tranny van is a 2-door Mk2 Escort and its a 'Sport' model too. Could be 1300 Sport or 1600 Sport. Both rare and £20K+ today :(

Love and want the white Mk1 Transit breakdown truck. Diesel or V6...could be either but must be one or the other due to the extended snout. It's probably a V6. Beautiful old thing.

Agree...maroon Angle-box at the back and yes a blue Sierra 3-door shell. Small rear quarter light glass so its an XR4i rather than a 3-door Cossie.

On the right hand side of the building...

Blue Austin Aggro with the door open and the bonnet up; it's normal "resting" attitude even when new :lol:

Beige Mk3 Cortina estate through the trees?

Bronze Marina with black vinyl roof bottom right?

Mk1 escort van next door but one to it.





In the other photo I even spot a yellow Fiat 131 Mirafiori.

I think the excavator in the background is a Komatsu....PC220 possibly although the dipper arm ram doesn't look quite right.

I'm priapic :devil: :lol:

The Mirafiori might only be a couple of years old - they had a habit of rapidly turning into ochre in the British climate.

Lurking under the tarp in the foreground - is that a Mini??
