 A roadside restaurant and a parking area filled with battered vintage cars. A lunch of the Oily Rag Gang perhaps? It was a very strange scene, discovered by our super active spanish reporter Francisco Carríon: both restaurant and cars are abandoned for years already. Most of the cars have been canabalised with missing tyres, lights and engines... so are they simple decorative objects? These cars were part of a great collection which due to a lack of space have been parked for years in an old scrapyard located in South Spain. Despite the dry weather in the area the vehicles are in poor condition. Still after more than 30 years of outside storage last week the miracle happened: a courageous collector bought the complete lot and towed the cars out (see below) and up trailers on their way to a new home and second youth. The cars may not be very special or valuable (many Fords, a Fiat Balilla, an early Citroen Traction and a 1934 Plymouth, among others) but the deep corroded bodies in combination with the clean pavement produces a rare image. Think of this scenery being your own garden... Beyond expectation most cars will be restored while others will live a second life as donor. |
