Volvo 120 series.
More information on this Volvo:
I've had a few Amazons in my time but this photograph was taken by my other half in Portugal. Despite a mild climate the rot had certainly got to this particular old Volvo. The photograph was taken during 1999.
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 Volvo above, so all news regarding what happened to it, or the rescue of this particular 120 series would be much appreciated.
All the photos, including this picture of an old Volvo 120 series, 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 120 series, and similar old Volvos, please visit the main scrapyard & scrap cars image page.
