Some real beauties

This one is for those who like classic cars,some real beauties amongst this collection....what a good find.
They'd make a great project for someone.I can see myself driving one of them about.....a M.O.T might be difficult though,I bet some even end up in museums, they are that rare.

"A collection of rare classic cars that was were left forgotten on a farm for almost 50 years will go on sale today."

Some great pics can be found here in the lots.

Yes,there are plenty of folk that like driving classics without encountering the costs associated with ownership and if you happen to be in the business of hiring them....it can be very lucrative indeed....


....The auction house made a couple of million just from selling this collection.

Don't forget the mill owners, Mr Bullough, Mr Howard, the owners of Broad Oak etc.
They'd be sweeping down the drives from Oak Hill Park, Haworth and the other mansions in some fine motors, perhaps waving to the workers doffing their hats(if they noticed them)!

Re: Some real beauties

They're even renovating Haworth's Motor House so who knows what 'real beauties' you'll soon be seeing?

Yes,it's suppose to be being converted into a art studio...that is if it's the building at the side of the art gallery (the old stables/garage)...


...it's empty...there are pics on this site somewhere that I took of the inside

Not even on Grand theft auto?

Was that guy who had the yard at Clayton a Rover collector?
I'm sure he had a old Rover105 there last time I walked past...

...hardly the same pedigree as these 'beauties'.

None of the cars on GTA have real names and being that I am not into cars I cannot name what they are liking to. I don't play GTA5 all that much. I find the multiplayer to be lacking content, longevity and is a tad on the boring side. Most of the time when we play, I let someone else do the driving. I don't think a lack of interest in cars is the reason that I am completely useless at driving them in games :P
