ingo ![]() | A fellow of me (the owner of /vehicle_268800-Mercedes-Benz-280-SE-W116.html ) has made this experience 30 years ago with a 1st hand grandmother-owned, garage parked 30.000 km-Simca 1501 (rustfree, when he purchased it!). It was incredible, he said. The rust wasn't growing - it was an eruption After two years lantern-parking he needed a hand brush and a bucket to clean off the rests... -- Last edit: 2012-07-04 21:47:01 |

Andre Malraux ![]() | If not for a whole life, for some years anyway. I know a 1968 Fiat 1800 which stayed in garage for decades and in these last three years was kept in the street, because the son of the owner bought a new car. In these three years it rusted beyond any possible repair. About the other thing, here rust protection applied by owners was not a common practice. More than that, judging by appearances, this GAZ 24 has the original paint. If it was not repainted, it means rust protection work has not been made. -- Last edit: 2012-07-03 22:52:48 |

johnfromStaffs ![]() | The fact that it is left hand drive means that it cannot be any MG Midget built before 1950, and it is too small to be a TD or TF. "The 1945-1949 MG TC was the first MG model to cross the pond and come to America. Until the late Forties, American sports car enthusiasts knew little of the MG, in good part because the firm had completely ignored the North American market before World War II. Production of Midgets, in any case, was tiny -- about 1000 units a year was normal -- and the few cars that went for export were most often sent to Britain's loyal "Empire" territories. The very first Midget to receive left-hand-steering wasn't sold until 1950." http://auto.howstuffworks.com/1954-1955-mg-tf2.htm -- Last edit: 2012-07-03 09:51:11 |

ingo ![]() | There was annother reason, why they were scrapped: hysteria by the owners, after Borgward get in bankrupcy. Some have thought, they cannot hold these cars any more and gave them away. Due that company's collapse the prices for used Borgward-products collapsed, too. Same happened with the (former solid) brand-reputation - which has caused even lower values of the cars. Same happened a few years later with Glas-cars. More later with Simca-Talbot-cars and not a too long time ago with Rover, too. |

ingo ![]() | The generally assumed reason is, that in that years of the first energy crisis after autum 1973, a lot of recyled steel with inferior quality, purchased in the DDR and the USSR, was used by all European car-makers. In Germany, when someone says it was the "DDR-Blech", everyone knows what's meant. It's said, that there was too much dirt and order metals in this recyled steel, for the the bad quality. Recently an old automotive-engineer told me annother reason. These problems shall been caused by the new (in the early 70ies) electric powered way to cook steel. The temperature of the fusion in the furnace was lower, so lower quality was the result. |

andrepa ![]() | the Rover - nickename auntie - looks quite unrusted, even underside shiny white , and without accident, i guess it is more like ingo says for fashionable reasons in time of economical miracle, i know all these 50ies cars, although beeing not that old, as my father has taken me to scrapyards with doezens of Borgward Isabellas, i am sure they were scrapped because it wasn´t en voque anymore in 1967 , not because rusted. The only Borgward P100 Taxi was scrapped after ten years, the owner said to me, it wasn´t worth to preserve! There are preserved Mercedes Taxis 60 years old! -- Last edit: 2012-07-02 23:54:56 |

chris40 ![]() | The Fiat/Alfa rust problem was partly due to inadequate or non-existent rust protection, but another factor was the inferior quality of the steel used, which I believe was imported from Poland. In fairness this improved early in the 70s; my 1972 Fiat 127 became rather crunchy in less than a year, but the 1974 127 I replaced it with lasted me more than four years with negligible rust. | 2012-07-02 21:45 | |

| 1950 Rover 75 [P4] Die schwarze Kobra (1963) |
dsl ![]() | They started using recycled steel in some cases - allegedly Fiat/Lancia/Alfa etc used steel from Russia - a vague memory that this was part of the Lada transaction, paid partly in steel rather than cash??? Also (for UK at least) they increasingly used salt on roads in winter for ice/snow conditions rather than grit. And a general trend for reducing weight of cars - in the 50s they were built with so much steel that rust took several years to penetrate the thickness of structural elements, but 70s/80s steel was used much more thinly, so rust proved terminal more quickly. | 2012-07-02 21:42 | |
| 1950 Rover 75 [P4] Die schwarze Kobra (1963) |
Andre Malraux ![]() | Not here. And they did not rust more than western cars from the same period, on the contrary. And they were not heavily rust-proofed by owners. -- Last edit: 2012-07-02 21:39:39 |

| 1950 Rover 75 [P4] Die schwarze Kobra (1963) |
Nightrider ![]() | ^Most russian cars were driven in summer season only, and were put into conservation for late autumn and winter. Plus, some were heavily rust-proofed by owners, due to certain reasons. | 2012-07-02 21:36 | |
| 1950 Rover 75 [P4] Die schwarze Kobra (1963) |
Andre Malraux ![]() | So Nightrider is wrong when he sais Volga rusted quicker than western cars. In fact, russian cars were more resistant to rust, because their metal is very thick. ![]() |

| 1950 Rover 75 [P4] Die schwarze Kobra (1963) |
ingo ![]() | It was in the "bad 13th year", the average age, when most cars were scrapped. Some years ago. Nowadays they live longer due the better rust conservation. It was even quite old, when you think about the general situation in the 60ies and 70ies. Back then a plenty of cars were scrapped in much younger age, some were just 5-6 years old. Mainly caused by the non existing rust-preservation, but sometimes, because it was not fashionable any more (as the late 50ies- style in the mid 60ies). In the worst rust-times in the 70ies, some cars were known, that they will not survive their 2nd TÜV-inspection (back then all 2 years) because they were so rotten. Many Alfas, especially Alfasud and GTV, also several Fiats. But German made cars weren't much better, as the Escort I and the 1974 VW Golf. |

chris40 ![]() | Of one thing I'm certain: this is no MG T-series. It's too narrow for a TD and too wide for an earlier model, and as andrepa says the fixtures and fittings are wrong. Apart from the back it looks rather like a 1933 Fiat 508 Balilla Sport; the screen and wheels match. | 2012-07-02 14:37 |
