71taunus
Just returned from 2 weeks on Orkney. Some sightings below. The local scrappie/recycling centre closed some months back, so there's a lot of stuff sitting around decaying gently instead of being cleared - mostly fairly boring 10 year old Astras, Mondeos, Vectras, Passats, Volvo estates etc, but the occasional 306, Mazda 6 and a few early Seat Leons and Audi 80s for variety.

1] What-is-it?? wreck seen in the corner of a stunning view from amazing fish restaurant on South Ronaldsay - almost the last building on Orkney before the land stops.

Maybe Transit??

2] Unexpected little Japanese thing

Apparently a 2001 Suzuki Carry which died in 2011

3] Rover 105R derelict for over 30 years - I remember it from way back when, but now reappeared in view as its resting place has been opened up by new housing

7] 1988 LHD Renault 4 Savane edition, still in use although DVLA says SORN. No other info apart from this edition not sold in UK and seems UK registered from Feb 2014

8] and saving the best to last ... a RHD 1971 registered Taunus 17M P7b outside another Ford enthusiast's garage - according to one of the mechanics, it's the boss's next project for restoration, specially brought up from Englandshire
