A weird little bungalow used by NCP parking, well into the stages of decay.

History

Left empty at some point in 2001/2002, this little bungalow seems to have had an admin role in NCP (National Car Parks).
With lots of blank tickets and financial earning documents left around, it seems this was used as an administration hub for the area.

There are two NCP booths here too from two different car parks.


The Explore

A nice easy local one, although it does back onto someones back garden, so I had to be careful not to be too noisy here.
It's in a ruined state and didn't have anything too amazing left apart from a couple cars.

What! No fuseboard shots? That one looks to have two meters and I'm getting over excited.

Interesting one Gromr.
Wouldn't it be great if all workplaces had a swimming pool in the countryside?
 
The house is in such a mess. Must have been used as a canteen for the NCP workers. As DS has identified the Austin Atlantic but the other car looks like a Rover 2000, but I could be wrong.
 
The other car is indeed a Rove P6/2000, the Austin Atlantic is a very rare beast indeed.
 
What an interesting find Gromr, those cars still appear half decent. A shame to see them just left to the elements.
 
Potter;345398 I wonder if they could be restored?[/QUOTE said:
One can restore anything if you have the cash, and can source missing parts. However the Rover is not really worth doing - plenty of restored ones available at below the probable cost of restoring this one that has such a bad interior and missing panels. As for the Atlantic, looking at rear end this one has got terminal floorpan rot, missing trim and glass, with a very bad interior. Been there, done that on an Atlantic and a Nash Metropolitan many years ago when a mate and myself did old vehicles up - scrap yards were full of old stuff which you could get for a song when the first MOT tests struck home. Our best find was a pre-war Frazer Nash-BMW which we got roadworthy and then traded for a big Healey. The Healey was a good sprint car, but we should have stuck the Nash in the back of the barn - worth a goodly amount of readies today! But we were young and the good scrap yards were full of interesting MOT failures. Happy days!
 
Excellent set here. I hadn't heard of a an Austin Atlantic so I googled it lol and found one for sale for £32,000 very interesting but looks very rotten from the pics.....
