After initially spotting a house, I noticed lots of not so shiny metal in the fields nearby, so me and Yorkietommo decided to check it out. The house was unbelievably lived in despite having no front door and not many windows, as we were just about to go in, we heard dogs barking, fook! lets just do the cars then... No history just fields full of old cars, some really sweet one's, many we couldn't even see they were so overgrown, but there were loads of 'em.

This is the house ..

it is indeed a ford corsair we had the V4 version whose engines were used in SAAB 96 cars , there are indeed very few left as they suffered from major tin worm issues !! even rarer are crayford convertible corsairs i think there are 4 examples remaining in the uk of the convertable version i'd guess at 10 maybe 20 of the factory corsairs remain
