Back when I was looking for a real Anglia gasser for the Euro-Gasser Edition Project Car Hell (they're too expensive), I stumbled across the Anglia Obsolete site. The site is a bit light on content, but there's a link to photos of heaps of dead Anglias in a Swedish wrecking yard. Somehow that just seems right. [Anglia Obsolete]

Can't wait to hear about that trip to Australia!!!
Man that is a great picture, murilee. Wait, is that a BMW on the top right?
@akirachan: No, that's an Anglia.
It might be a Ford Popular.
The Anglia E494A had a 933cc engine and was produced until 1953. When the Anglia 100E was introduced the old Anglia was rebadged as a Popular 103E and given an 1172cc engine.
Several of these old scrapyards are disapearing over here. Enthusiasts (me) claimes it would be saved for the future and just leave it but the government has during the recent years a campaign to get old cars away from the nature.
Kyrkö mosse is so beautiful, Been there myself a couple of time. Soon it is gone.
Kyrkö mosse -->[www.fikonstekel.com]
google "kyrkö mosse" for even more pics
@JanTheMan: Whoa! That's great stuff- I'll have to do a separate post on that site.
Why do I smell a Holocaust joke coming on?
@Murilee Martin: If you're into that kind of stuff, check out LostAmerica.com too.

It's gutting that people would abandon most of the cars on there.
"Kyrkö mosse" is also known as "Åkes bilskrot" if you want to google some more

@JanTheMan:
It never ceases to amaze and astound me at the breadth and depth of interesting topics that come up on Jalopnik (and what a global community we are)...
@amblito: Dude, as we have noted, that is a NSFW site because of the .gifs of the administrator! I checked it out at home and it is remarkable, it's just too bad about the skanky icons.
These Anglias are sad. They look like little lost toys.
@Novaload: Oops! Sorry, forgot to mention that it's NSFW.
@amblito:
Funny, I was going to post about Murilee's pic being somehow NSFW.
