United Counties 676 on its way to the breakers, 1980
Not quite what it might first seem. This poor old United Counties FS Lodekka wasn’t on service, but had broken-down in a lay-by just outside Northampton whilst being driven northward to the breaker's yards in South Yorkshire. In a final act of defiance, 676 sits stubbornly at the kerbside. Surrounded by the countryside it knows so well, it awaits the ugly wrecker truck that will drag the poor beast to its unpleasant end, amidst a sea of oily mud and twisted metal in a foreign and unwelcoming place.
