Daimler Conquest.
More information on this Daimler:
To my warped eye this photo couldn't have been staged any better. Lovely weather and scenery with a slightly sad one-eyed Daimler parked out in the grass. The long grass will have done the Daimlers chassis no good at all. This one was seen in 1993/4 I think but is probably long-gone now.
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 Daimler above, so all news regarding what happened to it, or the rescue of this particular Conquest would be much appreciated.
All the photos, including this picture of an old Daimler Conquest, 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 Conquest, and similar old Daimlers, please visit the main scrapyard & scrap cars image page.
