I saw those in Devlins yard , the Astra was remarkably good and rust free . There was interest in saving it but the contract was to crush all the cars . The smell was terrible so I’m glad it wasn’t drinking water .
@@The-Future-Is-The-Past- I suspect that with the 605, it had numerous electrical faults and because depreciation on such cars was literally measured in minutes, the owners decided to dump it there and report it stolen. They'd get more from the insurance than they'd likely get trying to resell a problematic Peugeot 605, and they'd get it quicker. I remember when I first visited here in November 1996, at the age of 11. That car, and at least several of the others would have been there then.
Gut so, aber so ein Aufwand, tauchen und rausziehen ,muss man doch nicht das Wasser ablassen, Ufa besser sichern damit nicht irgendwelche Idioten Autos wieder rinfahren
One of them was always going to be an Astra GTE, wasn't it?
Nice Astra GTE poking out of the water there. I bet that had a good thrashing before it went in
When I seen that Astra GTE down there a tear came to my eye. My first favourite car that was when I was a kid. Car thieves are scum of the earth
I can see a Nissan Prairie, Ford Mondeo, Vauxhall Astra, Fiat Uno, Citroen ax, Peugeot 605 and Rover 800.
Definitely discarded at some point during the 90s or the 00s
well done guys : ) nice Mondeo as well
Well thank goodness they blocked out the license plate on that red Ford. 🙄
Might have helped someone watching to identify it.
I'm surprised there wasn't a vauxhall nova
My second car was an H reg Astra Gte, it was definitely a 5 door Astra but I certainly wouldn't tell it was a GTE.

Awww some of these were decent cars… bet with a clean they might have some good parts on em
that prairie might be worth a bit
I hope those idiots will be fined who dropped their car into the reservoir. Shame...
😂
There was a period when scrap metal was worthless. This was one way of getting rid of them without having to pay the scrap dealer.
The Peugeot 605 was only 5 years old when it was dumped in there, and the Citroen AX was 3.
shame, if they had been kept for a while more, they would be worth a lot of money, recently an astra MK1 GTE went for £26,000

I love the gte back in the day very easy stolen 😮
Wasn't a gte
Defo going to be worth building some earth or rock banks around that reservoir to stop idiots being able to dump more cars in there in the future.
Dibs on the 605!
Its an astra sri no a gte
อ่าวล่ะจะไปตามเก้บไปทามมายร้าวนะ😆
