This MG Magnette has, lets face it, seen better days. It’s one of many other vehicles at a “scrapyard that time forgot” just over the Norwegian boarder in Sweden. The place has become very popular with photographers from all over the world, so if you want the place to yourself you have to get there early. By the time I left there were at least a bus full of people there. Some come for the nostalgia others to take pictures. It’s a great place to spend a Saturday morning.
There weren’t many Magnettes that made their way to far flung extremities of Australia, but one of my friends proudly owned one. His love was rarely repaid with the ongoing maintenance and off-road time. Lovely shot.

I love the energy in this shot David, as through the vegetation is eating the car alive, albeit very slowly!

This scrapyard may be one that time forgot, but photographers like us will never forget. I’ve got to get there somehow. Someday!
