  1. 🔥🚒 Abandoned fire trucks left to rot in a barn, somewhere in England.

    These Dennis-Thornycroft MK9 crash tenders are specialised airfield safety response vehicles. Custom-built in the late 1970s and 1980s, they featured roof-mounted monitors capable of laying a 12m-wide foam carpet.

    After decades of service at RAF and civilian bases, these heavy machines were replaced by modern successors like the Scammell Mk 10.

  3. I 🩵 alovelye old Citroën! Here are some highlights from my large collection of abandoned Citroën cars.

    You can see the evolution of the manufacturer’s design from the 1920s vintage carriage-like motors through aerodynamic curves of the 1970s and onto the boxy bodies of the 80s/90s.

    Which Citroën model is your favourite? For me, it's the DS-21 Pallas. My dream car!

  4. An old OT-64 SKOT armoured personnel carrier sits hidden inside a barn in Poland. A strange location to discover a Cold War-era machine.

    The OT-64 was developed in 1959 as a joint project between Poland and Czechoslovakia. Production ran from 1963 to 1971, with about 4,500 units built.

    The 8×8 design allowed the vehicle to handle difficult ground, able to float and move across water as well as land.

  5. @14mission @ChuckMcManis I didn't buy this other barn find, someone else did (probably for a great price). Out of the barn of the descendents of the original settlers of our town here... (the whole town was part of their ranch). #BarnFind

  6. @14mission @ChuckMcManis Hands down the best "barn find" I have run across so far.

    Heathkit EC-1 (not fully assembled). Oldest computer I have owned. (I sold it, however... not sure if to someone collecting it or a museum!). It was in a rat infested barn (really)!! Only the knobs there had been attached, nothing wired up, all the parts in a box (though, I moved them all out of that box... as I mentioned, the barn was rat infested!!! lol).

  7. Abandoned cars shot on 35mm and medium-format film - Part 2

    I wonder who the owners were; what precious memories led them to keep the car, and what happened to them to leave their beloved vehicle forgotten and decaying.

    Do you have an old car you are keeping hold of? I would love to hear your stories and thoughts 🩵

  8. Abandoned cars shot on 35mm and medium-format film - Part 1

    Rusty old-timers lay forgotten, overgrown by the roadside and in the gardens of long-abandoned houses.

    Have you owned one of these? Share your fond motoring memories with me in the comments. 🩵

  9. After a wasted day just breaking shit and getting nothing done, at least I found some drugs.

    One contains sealed glass ampules from 1978. Or maybe expired in 1978? Should I try one to cheer me up? 🤔

  10. 🔥🚒🇬🇧 Collection of vintage fire trucks, left abandoned in old farm buildings

    These types of vehicles are more typically called “airport crash tenders” rather than “fire trucks/engines”. An airport crash tender is a specialised fire engine designed for airfield use.

    These are 1970s/1980s Denis-Thorneycroft Nubian Major trucks. They were retired in the 1990s, replaced by the next generation of firefighting trucks.

  11. This dusty blue Alfa Romeo 2000 is locked up in an old abandoned garage in Italy.

    Clearly, it had been left here a long time and has seemingly been forgotten. The car is lifted up on metal stands at the front, evidently in the middle of maintenance

    Sitting and waiting for the owner to finish some important mechanical work, so they can get right back out on the road!

  12. ❄️ Throwback to the best #barnfind location ever! Expédition Antarctique 1966 : The Belgian Sno-Cats

    Three bright orange Tucker Sno-Cats remain in a Belgian barn after the 1966 Belgo-Dutch expedition to East Antarctica. While others are in museums, these were kept privately and left in this old barn.

    The sides of the vehicles bear the Expédition Antarctique 1966 logo, reportedly designed by Tintin artist Hergé in 1957.

  13. 🩵💛In a mossy and fern-covered corner of this old mill are two old-timers. A pair of vintage 1920s/1930s Citroen cars, in cornflower blue and daffodil yellow!

  14. 🚘 Old Blue 💙

    This beautiful blue 1920s Citroën Type C is quietly resting in the garage of an abandoned house in Belgium.

    How amazing would it be to get this vintage girl started up and take her for a spin on some winding country roads!

  15. 🚗❓Any car enthusiasts out there? I photographed this old truck, with a tree growing out of it. Some kind of Ford, is my best guess. Somewhere in Belgium, a few years ago.

  16. An old OT-64 SKOT Armoured Personal Carrier, in a barn in Poland 🇵🇱. This is an Armoured Personal Carrier (APC), manufactured during the Cold War, which was a joint project by the Polish People’s Republic (PRL) and Czechoslovak Socialist Republic (ČSSR). As well as being an all-terrain 8x8 wheel drive, it is also amphibious!

  18. Forget #BarnFind, this is a bush find! Old British-made #Jaguar cars, rotting in the garden of an abandoned house in the southwest of England

    Glass-covered headlights, small “mouth-like” opening at front, clamshell bonnet

  21. 💙 Old cornflower blue Barkas B1000 van, left in the barn of an abandoned house. Somewhere in Belgium 🇧🇪

    This van was manufactured by VEB Barkas-Werke in Chemnitz, Germany, between 1961 and 1988. The vans were available in a variety of configurations. The particular van is the minibus variety, first produced in 1964. It has been converted into a camper van!

    Early Access : A classic car graveyard, a stones throw away from my house

    This British Classic Car Graveyard sat tucked, cloaked by a thicket of trees in a photographer’s oasis reclaimed by nature. These rusty old timers have lain hidden in this verdant glade for some twenty years since the previous owner passed away.
