CHECK THIS LINK. AFTER OPEN THE SIDE JUST GO TO,, NÄCHSTES FOTO,,( NEXT PIC )

HERE U CAN SEE SOMETHING WHAT MAKES MY EYES AQUEOUS


this car dump was est. back in the 1930 by father Messerli. he was a kind of motorcycle race driver back then and race managments asked him for keeping the casualty vehicles in his privat backyard for a little money of course. So he did open up this dump.

His son took over the biz in the late 50s and business grow up to a real big vehicles dump for special cars & motorcycles.

Now after almost 80 years, the government want to close the dump cause of pollution of the environment.

its like everywhere  on this planet right now...........they think, they can change all in just a minute and they start at the least......there they can effect something for the good.......they think. Wrong. ( my opinion )

Ok so if this scrap year is being forced to close why don't the guy just sell it all? I am sure many people will buy cars to restore or just for spares! It would do alot of them a favour as sitting out under trees is just going to turn them into fertiliser!

wow.. that really is a shame to see all those cars deteriorating like that. You would think there would be a way for the property owner to invite people in to buy up the cars that are still salvageable (if not for restoration, then for parts)... sad.  I do like the Firebird in this shot..

As the 356 Cabrios and Speedsters are something I cannot afford to be even interested in.. Is that 356, a Karmann Hardtop or open top one with detachable hardtop?
