Isn't that a better time to sneak in for a look?!

Just have a look above the brick wall and confirm total number, make and model...

Update:


My mate (fellow petrol head) at work drives that way home and I asked him to have a look last night on his way home. He's confirmed this morning that there is at least 3 Panda's, I asked him what colour they were and he said "rust" ! He said they clearly haven't moved for a long time. I'll get over there within the next few days, maybe over Easter to have a better look and see if there is anything salvageable!!

Photos and numberplates please Sounds like a good plan!

Rust - That's a bit unkind, awaiting Panda reconnaissance(?) mission.

We are travelling up to Ripon/Masham, on Saturday so not too far away, if you want another panda fan joining up.

Any word on this 4WDPandamonium ?

I bet when they launched sputnik in 1957 nobody would ever guess satellites would be used to track down old cars. Be really interesting to see some ground pics of this little stash

Not yet, didn't have time over easter but i will be going soon. I spoke to another lad at work today and he said that another lad in work goes to that unit next to them to do something, all very vague i know but i will try speak to him tomorrow.

OK so I went to Denholme this eve to have a look at these Panda's. You can see on the pics there are 5 and i think they are all 1000's?

They are all in pretty bad shape however some of the doors look ok, can't really see that there is anything else left salvageable.

I didn't get a closer look as I wasn't going trespassing.........not next to a main road anyway. I could get in contact with the guy who owns the land if people think it would be worth it?


Michael

Good work Michael, would be worth a word with the owner I'd say - a few reg's visible for checking out...

I wonder if that's where the Panda killer lives

Now that photo's been posted up I'm sure that site has been on the forum before - looks familiar.

Sort of the shape of things to come for my wrecks

:yeahthat:

definitely some dejavu going on here!

Or are we just recognising it because this is what all our driveways look like (for real or just in our heads )...

Colour, Clx and Fizz- clearly somebody wanted to have them all.
Anyway, first class thread!
Does the yard belongs to that 4x4 & caravan sales place next door?

Good ID skills Seb!


The guy who owns the 4x4 garage is the father in law of a lad in work it turns out, he has the big unit on the opposite side of the garage as well. He has told me the guy who owns them is in his words "a bit of a fruit cake" and he owns this quarry https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=53.746087,-1.863236&num=1&t=h&z=17

ok the cats out of the bag they belong to me as spares cars. On site is a black 900cc panda 5 speed, a red panda auto, 1000cc almost a shell, a white panda dance, and a red all but a shell. I unfortunately the cars were subject to idiot vandalism but I managed to safe some parts.

I will have to scrap most of them soon other than the panda auto, I still need that for parts as is has a fully serviced rebuilt auto box in it that coat the last owner £900+ to have sortied out. It was used as a mobility car for is son.

I gave offered the black 900cc up for sale £100 would buy the shell with engine and five speed box. When I used it went like stink.

The gear box was re built for me and a new clutch fitted.

I have just moved a load of panda parts from one barn into another to save rent money.

I have doors, bonnets. tailgates plus many other parts, let me know if you need anything? I'm going to meeting next Monday so I can trailer parts down with me.

Please pm me if you have a wish list.

Kind Regards

Allen

Just to correct a comment the land owner is far from a fruit cake he is worth over 4 million + If that what you get being a fruit cake I'll become one to. He owns three working quarries, 15 plus houses and two construction training centres.

Some people make to fast a judgment without enough knowledge. The old saying never judge a book by its cover!
