Cyprus cars all mapped – but who names the unidentified ones?

Wow. Lots of reaction came in on Sunday's film footage, taken illegally on Cyprus. Not everyone was sure we should have published the video on PostWarClassic, but we did it since we felt we wanted to share it with you. There were also messages coming in from people knowing more about this unlikely scrap yard – if you can even call it that.

The ghost car park is located in a field at Episkopi Garrison, which is where the headquarters of British Forces Cyprus are located also. What’s more: the Brits have mapped out all of the 468 vehicles that are there and still offer (former) owners or their relatives the chance to reclaim them. There is an official governmental website with the necessary forms to do so here.

We had a look at the list of cars and found no less then 40 Hillmans, 29 Fords, 24 Morrises, 23 VWs, 18 Fiats, 14 Austins, 13 Vauxhalls, 12 Opels, 8 Land Rovers and many more. You can see most of them on the picture gallery they have added. Also, there are 17 unidentified vehicles and we wondered if you can name these. They wear the numbers 127, 213, 222, 239, 240, 244, 246, 251, 258, 280, 281, 282, 285, 293, 366 and 423. Click here for the gallery, and let us know what you recognize in the comments below!
