Sick transit gloriously muddy?

Some more body parts from my local (North side of the Moray Firth) grave yard.

Hi Richard,
I remember these push-button door handles...I am pretty sure my 1965 Vaxhall Viva had one just like it! What model have you got there, would you say?

Andy

It's an 1100 (or may be 1300) - Austin or Morris I guess - a rear view below...I think it has the small wing extensions which would make it a Mark 1.

I've attached its mate..a Renault from the steering wheel - want to guess the model?

No prizes for guessing VW Käfer, but what vintage?
This one from the Black Isle still had the indicator lights at the top of the door pillar, though the windscreen was in a single pane...looks distinctly more salvagable than any of the other contributions so far! ;)

Vintage is hard to tell without the front wings...I guess the rear window was single piece so post 1957...the front wings would tell us whether it was pre or post 1967 (I think the light on the pillar may be an add on parking light). Call in CSI!

Recalled the above posts from a short while ago and thought I'd add these taken today. There was other bits and pieces lying around, sadly no engine....Just so happens I recognized the rear tail light shape and confirmed my suspicions with a couple of images I found afterwards. It's an old Holden, Australian made model FC from about 1959.... :cool:

Some more body parts from the Black Isle. This time it is a Series 1 Land Rover - looks like the original 80 inch wheel base to me....I used to have one of these when I lived in the Outer Hebrides.
