Daimler Majestic.
More information on this Daimler:
In 1990/91 these two Daimler Majestics were looking sorry for themself outside a small factory in Congleton Cheshire. The silver and black car was a 3.8 straight six whilst the blue car was the V8 engined 4.5 Majestic Major. I don't think either survived. The bonnet from the blue car was thrown in the river by vandals I think and the cars disappeared a year or two later.
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 Majestic would be much appreciated.
All the photos, including this picture of an old Daimler Majestic, 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 Majestic, and similar old Daimlers, please visit the main scrapyard & scrap cars image page.
