    I found these photos of wartime vehicle wrecks on geograph earlier.
    The first is in Kilmartin Glen, Argylle, on Scotland's west coast.
    http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/167995
    Kilmartin is more famous for it's prehistoric circles and cairns, but there is also the wreck of a B29 which crashed in Succoth Glen in 1945.
    The second is at an Army ammo dump in County Durham in England.
    Saltersgate Ammo Depot - Army Truck:: OS grid NZ0743 :: Geograph British Isles - photograph every grid square!
    Now that looks like a Morris Commercial to me.
    If only I had the means to recover them, the equipment, time, money, peace and quiet to restore them......:(

    You mean a lot of time and money for that Morris truck. She's gonna need a whole lot of 'bondo' to get her looking pretty again.

    Now that number plate must be worth a bob or two if you just look at the commercial side - buy the thing and sell the plates!!
