Austin A35 saloon.
More information on this Austin:
This dinky pink A35 was given to me in 1996 as a parts-donor for my other half's A30. The condition was pretty dismal. I towed it to a friends driveway (you reading this Andy Walker?) in Cheadle and stripped it for bits. The rolling bodyshell was then scrapped. The numberplate CJP 395 now hangs in my garage in memoriam!
This section of oldclassiccar is full of photographs showing a mix of unrestored, derelict, abandoned, and scrapped old cars. Some cars are with enthusiasts awaiting restoration, others are dumped or seen in breakers yards. I don't have any more information on the classic Austin above, so all news regarding what happened to it, or the rescue of this particular A35 saloon would be much appreciated.
All the photos, including this picture of an old Austin A35 saloon, are shown as a reminder of how old cars go to look once past their first flush of youth. Some of the scrapyards in this archive no longer exist, others perhaps survive but don't allow you to walk around them. And those that you can still get in probably don't have many classics in them any more. For more photos like this one of the A35 saloon, and similar old Austins, please visit the main scrapyard & scrap cars image page.
