Thames 400E camper.
More information on this Thames:
This was a chance 'find' in a Stockport scrapyard not normally noted for classic vehicles. Dating to 1993 this image was probably taken during the 400Es final days on this planet. The door hanging off suggests that the vehicles bodywork was severely corroded. A VW camper is alongside.
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 Thames above, so all news regarding what happened to it, or the rescue of this particular 400E camper would be much appreciated.
All the photos, including this picture of an old Thames 400E camper, 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 400E camper, and similar old Thamess, please visit the main scrapyard & scrap cars image page.
