What have you done today with your Austin Seven

[Reckless Rat]

It's outside of the entrance to a stone quarry, and probably was a company vehicle a long time ago. No idea how long it has been there, but at least 10 years to my knowledge, probably more.  On the way there I passed another old Peugeot, at the entrance to the "Grotte de la Cocalière" on the Gard/Ardèche border. Link here to it on Google maps:

It seems to be fairly typical that these things don't "disappear" into the back of a lorry with a HiAb belonging to those rustic chaps that offer really good discounts on tarmac. This photo is of a memorial garden in the next village to mine, Le Martinet, which features some sort of bucket from the coal mining era and an old motor bike. It too has been there for at least 20 years. I haven't checked to see if it's welded or concreted to the spot.

There is also this "convoy" of former US military vehicles, abandoned after WW2 on display at a local Haulage Contractors, along with a Citroen "Traction" 11BL which unfortunately DID get a visit from the you know whos, it is missing its engine and gearbox...
