Austin A40 Devon Countryman.
More information on this Austin:
A40 Devons of any sort are a rare sight outside of a vintage show. This Austin A40 is either a Countryman or a van that someone has fitted windows too. Not that it really matters as this one seen in 1995 is well beyond sensible restoration. Also in shot is a SAAB 900 and an Austin Ambassador. This yard is over near Wrexham and still going I think.
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 A40 Devon Countryman would be much appreciated.
All the photos, including this picture of an old Austin A40 Devon Countryman, 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 A40 Devon Countryman, and similar old Austins, please visit the main scrapyard & scrap cars image page.
