Superb! them 23 minutes flew by 😳 ,hope im not the only one who was leaning into the screen as if i was almost there hehe 🥸
My Cavalier SRi130 was burnt out after being stolen, my pride and joy, I'll never find that in a junk yard 🙁
10:24 Talbot Sunbeam
Nissan 140 or 160? Some places called a Bluebird
I agree with someone who has named the light green Nissan as a Violet and think the back that initially looked like an SD1 might be a Porsche 924
I also learned on a Hillman Avenger – actually a Argentine 1980 Dodge 1500. https://youtu.be/28mNfQAdxhg
Datsun 160 or 180B
The Land Rover is a 88 series 3
The Nissan may be an old Sunny?
Something very somber about seeing these lovely old cars being reclaimed by nature. If only they could talk…
The red car at 15:50 is a Peugeot 104 5dr. From the black stripe maybe even an ‘S’ model with the 1360cc engine. Any Peugeot 104 is rare as hens teeth. I’ve one of 2 104S models currently on UK roads (and a Citroen LNA).
And Johnny you’re correct with the Samba link. 3dr 104 came first, Citroen LNA was same length floor pan. 5dr 104 was a longer floor pan. And finally came the Samba on a floorpan between the 3dr and 5dr 104s. Gearbox in sump like a mini hence the characterful transmission noise.
Spot on comment Jonny about the Ascona! Sister car of the Cavalier and very popular here OTSOT. From one of your regular Irish ☘️ viewers 👍
Pity you’re not in Australia, the added deadly creature factor would improve on the excitement value.
Great video but also so sad
Keep up the great work
Superb
Loved this Jonny, never heard the word rotten used so much in one video 😂
The owner of this site must've really hated his neighbours.
Brill video Jonny, I’d love to know the back story of how they all ended up there!
Nissan Laurel maybe for the unknown…80-84 model?
Nice Jacket mate👍🏼❄☃️
My Dad bought 3 new Avenger’s – in ‘73, ‘76 and ‘79. Learned to drive in one. Remember begging day off school to tag along with him when he collected each new car from the dealer. Also remember rust bubbles even showing on one of them as it sat brand new on the dealer forecourt. It had probably been stood outside 6 months since it had been built. Unbelievable that that was vaguely acceptable even then. Still would love to have one now! Keep up the great work Jonny.
The chopped up car at 10:40 id say is a mk2 caverlier hatchback.
Could it possibly be a nissan cherry or a datsun 120y
What’s sad is they were probably laid up for minor but expensive issues and were worth nothing at the time. Now that they would be worth something they’re all too late to be saved. So so sad yet utterly fascinating. Cheers Jonny!
The Datsun looks like a B310 Sunny, about 1979-80 ish, I've got one the same colour i.e. two tone, metallic green and iron(II) oxide
I think the green Japanese car is a Datsun Laurel.
