That poor little car😭

Probably came back as a washing machine fridge coke can.

If this little car had survived it would now have far more vintage than scrap value

Funny How A Lot Of (Late) 1940s And (Mid) 1950s Cars Were In Rust Condition In The 1960s.

What a sad end to a lovely little car, it would have only been a little more then 10 yeas old!

Well , my dad had a Simca 1100 in the 70s . From new to rusty scrap in 7 - yes seven - years , can you imagine ?

Great period movie, another one I went to was Welland in Malvern back around this period, thanks for sharing

I remember this scrap yard well 👌🏻😎

Wow that brings back some memories, me and a friend Paul leuesley decided to travel one evening (probably about 1969, 8 years old) from Perry common road ( by saint Margaret Mary’s) to college road along the brook, nettles, trees , mud , water, we couldn’t escape once in because of the railing and back garden fences, it was around 10pm by the time we reached college road (next to the council yard) , and a police panda car picked us up walking back up college road to broomhill ( Paul’s parents had phoned the police ) what an adventure 👌🏻🤣

I like how he drained the gas tank

Be great to see any more old videos you have.

I wonder if this was because of me, I climbed and slipped on the railings in this park around 1968/9 and had 13 stitches in my leg. Could even be our gang playing football in background. A friend mentioned the area does not resemble Perry Common Park that ran from Witton Lodge Rd on one side to Perry Common Rd on the other, and wondered if it maybe the park that was on the other side of the road which was part of Witton Lakes Park? Even if so, still a great video.

They were cruel wicked bastards in those days committing terrible act of cruelty on cars like rolling them over (which is now thankfully illegal) as was burning them & using a pickaxe to make holes in fuel tanks as standards of vehicle welfare were non existant then.Thankfully we have limited standards of vehicle welfare which have thankfully stopped the cruellest atrocities like rolling cars over but standards of vehicle welfare need to go further as vehicles especially cars are still suffering painful & agonising deaths mostly by wholesale slaughter where cars are put in the crusher WITHOUT removing all parts which also must be made illegal as the kindest & most humane way to dispatch a car is to remove ALL parts & Everything that is removeable by non destructive means until NOTHING IS LEFT BUT THE EMPTY BODY Which is just a skeleton & ONLY THE EMPTY BODY SHOULD BE COMMITTED TO THE CRUSHER. That is the way it must be done.

Great hovercraft action. Thanks for posting.

The Good old days

Fascinating to watch how it used to be - Health & Safety now would go nuts !.

May I share a screenshot of the green Vauxhall Victor at 1:58 with a facdbook group. Full credit and acknowledgement will be given and the video linked in. Thanks in advance ✅️

Why did your grandad film this?

This begs the question: Given that it's 1969 and there are loads of interesting cars about, both new and secondhand, what did he replace it with?

horrible looking old car but still a crying shame!!!! a sad end !! i dread to think how many mk1 ford cortinas were scrapped there !!!! they are worth an absolute small fortune now!!!!!

Great you had the foresight to record this….enjoyed watching

Would of been better to see it banger raced before scraped same as all classic cars

That eould've been a good banger car!

I have to say that I find this sort of social history of the UK absolutely fascinating. It's the seemingly ordinary things like this that capture me - it's this removal of old railings which changed society in some small, but ultimately large way. Thank you Jane! If you do have more home movies you'd like to share I'd love to see them 🙂 Add to this the fact that we see some very real people with very real lives in action and this becomes a priceless artifact of life at that time.

The days when most 10 yr old cars were only fit for the scrap heap and worth very little. Nine years earlier than this footage the 1960 Road Traffic Act brought into being the Ministry of transport test as to roadworthy and fitness to use on the road. (MOT as we now know it by) Before then there were many vehicles on the road in an appalling state of disrepair. Thank goodness these vehicles were weeded out and ended their days direct from test to the scrap yard. It came in stages cars of ten years old then five then as we now know it, 3 yrs old.

Wow that old Wolsley was rough for the age it was then, when I was a young fellow in the 80's in New Zealand we were buying cars of that vintage to get around in and they were mostly in better condition than that. My very first car was an Austin A30 delivery van, bought it off a mate for $70 in 1984 when I was 15 years old, the starter was shot but fortunately it had the notch hole in the front main engine pully and a hole through the front bumper for a hand crank handle so that's how I had to start it, old girl never ever failed to start and never gave any trouble whatsoever.

Poor thing. Its engine was still warm while it was scrapped :(

just dropping that 40ltrs of petrol like it's water .." it's liquid gold my friend "

I once saw on TV how an e -type jaguar was being treated when scrapped in 1975 obviously worth a fortune today but useless scrap metal then.

What a waste, a running, driving car destroyed ......no parts/spares taken to keep others on the road, nothing saved to use again . Disgraceful ......🥵🥵🥵

That petrol is worth more now than he got for the car then it’s a funny old world we live in. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍

How much did grandad get

c'est nousles ferrailleurs

wow i remember this happening, i was 10, we used the brook as safe passage from college rd all the way to perry common, ta for posting.

What a palaver

You had to pay to have your car scrapped in them days so most were just dumped on street corners

They didn't even bother to save the parts., they just destroyed it. Omg!! My dad bought his first car in 1968 ,around 1972 the car was scrapped. (rust)

I wish I could go back and live in those days. 2021 is shit!

So much for health and safety

Kkkkk where the ecologic......kkkkkk put a fire in the plastic interior kkkll From Brasil Estupid idea in England in 1950 60 and 70 fire in the plastic interior

Terrific footage. SRN-6 at 0:38 operated by Seaspeed (not Hovertravel). Ratsey & Lapthorn were and are sailmakers based in Cowes - www.ratseyandlapthorn.com/

Bring on the hovercraft!

Right in the Middle of the World Cup and the General Election !

The car is an Austin Cambridge or Morris Oxford estate. Vehicles registered in the Isle of Wight had DL registrations. There are three ferries, Lymington to Yarmouth, Southampton to Cowes, and Portsmouth to Ryde.

It's a Wolseley 1500, great little car. Made between 1957 and 1965.

Looks like they didn;t salvage anything. Everything was smashed to pieces.

A neat magic trick... Drive it in and watch it disappear...not a kind way to treat your trusty steed after all its done for you, especially since it still runs....

Really well put together piece.

Served my apprenticeship just down the road, MCC ,all gone now , very sad...!!
