    I'll take the Daimler Majestic please, especially if it it still has the little V8.


    By English countryside standards, this is quite a tidy garden.

    The Austins are pretty boring, but the Rileys are quite valuable. That Lynx tourer is very cool. Never heard of a Swift...the Willy Overland is also cool but so little of it left it's pretty much parts.

    I've read "Princess Cache" three times now, and each time I've wondered who in their right mind would bother saving a bloody ADO71.

    My first thought was to say "Hold on baby, I'm renting a trailer and I'll be there as soon as I can'. Then I looked at the list and took a closer look at those photos. Sorry, Babe.


    None of those cars are all that exceptional, and it would be a herculean task to put any of them back on the road again. It's arguable whether there is even much in the way of salvageable parts to be organ harvested from those cadavers.


    'Exceptional' cars? Only in the sense of being exceptionally rusted. And seeing as how there are 'original' cars running around after being recreated around a single original bent valve stem, I suppose they are, theoretically, restorable.


    I suppose I'm just not ready for the steeper, higher peaks of Hell just yet.

    Yeah, good luck with restoring those cars.


    When you have to replace 3/4 of the original sheetmetal, can you still call it a restoration?

    Peter, as the new contributor, please don't use "Project Car Hell" without first praying to to alter of Murilee Martin. The fact that she (Yea, I know, this joke is getting really old) probably gave up her weekday gig so that the Jalop could infuse some Eastern Europe flavor of the month doesn't help your cause either.


    Great find by the way....

    @UDMan: Is it really necessary to give Peter crap over Murilee's situation? It's not like Peter drugged Murilee, threw him in the trunk of his car, dropped his unconscious body off in the middle of the desert as a part of his evil plot to displace Murilee.


    BTW....you didn't do any of the stuff I mentioned, did you Peter? No? OK, then. Carry on.

    "Restoration project"? In that case, I can make somebody a helluva deal on a rare '56 Merc Montclair Phaeton..

    This is news? Looks like a typical yard in rural Kentucky or Tennessee, the only difference is the cars there would be old Firebirds/Camaros/Chevelles.
