Rust in pieces: Austin Minivan
Ever wondered what would happen if you left an old Austin Minivan exposed to the elements on Dartmoor for a number of years? Have a look here.
Ever wondered what would happen if you leave an Austin Minivan exposed to the elements on Dartmoor for the best part of 25 years? Well wonder no more as I've recently discovered this circa 1970 Minivan near my home. Surrounding evidence suggests that it has been laid up since 1986 and it is in such a bad way that pretty much every single part is unsalvageable.
On the last picture you can just about make out the rear wheel hidden behind the rear wheel arch. The chassis has rusted so badly that the entire body has collapsed over the wheels, creating a kind of lowrider effect.
There's absolutely no chance of the car ever moving again, so the Minivan's days of being a grocery delivery van are well and truly over. Rust in pieces.
