There are lots of web sites, where they post photos of such long abandoned vehicles. One had pictures of a long abandoned car dealership in the south west, complete with cars in the show room, from the 1960/1970's.

Absolutely fascinating to see them and guess at why they were just abandoned.

That's what I love about it although in this case I know the story behind it (well the older stuff anyway)
Back in the day when they constructed the M6 that old quarry was used a s a "base camp" & the busses were used to ferry the workers to & from the construction site & also probably used as canteens, those & the artic were simply left behind & the collection was obviously added to as some of the stuff is simply too "new"
