Abandoned Cab/Cabs in Wiltshire Area

[Purity]

I've been given some details about some abandoned cabs in the Wiltshire area. So far I've seen a picture of an Atari Super Sprint, which looks in reasonable condition. I also believe there are some virtual reality bits and bobs.

The cabs have been left abandoned in the back of an old lorry which is partially open to sky, but it doesn't look like rain has gotten to the cab from what I can see but don't know about moisture damage.

Anyway its in a very disused area, and kids have started to smash up the surrounding area, so probably only a short time before this gets smashed aswell.

I'm personally not interested in the cab/cabs, but I thought I would share this info in case someone fancies checking it out, or taking the cab, or trying to contact an owner if it is worthwhile.

If anyones interested, please let me know and I'll try and get some specific details. Only established, long term members please, as I don't want to see this end up on eBay.

I have no idea if anything else interesting is there.

Rat's nests ahoy! But yep, SS doesn't look to have fared too badly there.... yet.

Short on time & space here so not after anything myself (unless there's an Outrun going spare!) but I can try to head down the M4 to do some cab rescuing if we need to get a cabinet SOS crew together

someone go save them now!,although don't go by yourself,with no tail lift getting that cab out could be difficult with no additional pair of hands

Would be a great cab to find in the wild! too far for me, otherwise I'd be straight on it. Even if the cab is falling apart, there might still be a Med Res monitor in there.
Very good of you to put this out there Purity. Bensonrad2017-05-13 08:08:54

Nice one for sharing the info Ben, that does look in good shape and who knows what else could be there. Someone needs to get there now, before there's just a pile of smashed bits.

Interesting to see what else there is.

Go for it dude, there a few people on here with Super Sprints, that might need the parts off that. If they had anything else Atari related or a cocktail I'd be interested.

Edit: I'd point out I meant strip if the cab fell apart when trying to move it, as the bottom looks pretty swollen/damaged....ideally the whole cab would get saved and live on forever.

I would be interested in the super sprint. I have the space.
You never know there could be many gems hiding in the vehicles!

 

[jengineer]

good for someone nearby, whoever goes fill your boots...

Depending on how far it is from me in Bournemouth I could be a spare pair of hands. I can drive over in my car but I don't have a van.

i'm not in for the supersprint but don't want to see it smashed up.

I believe a large part of the M4 is closed all this weekend if that effects anything/anyone.

 

[Purity]

It needs someone in Wilthsire or nearby to go and check it out first. I will obtain the persons number who knows about it so you can contact them and they can show you where it is, so if you are serious about this, drop me a PM and I will share the details!

Would be a shame to see what looks like a good condition rare cab stripped for bits really, but anything to see the stuff saved I guess. This is a £500 cab guys and with other stuff there Unknown too, I can't believe 12 hours later it's not already all in a van and gone!

 

[Body pop]

That's a great find there ,and a very generous offer from the op
I hope it's saved ,
It's my favourite ,and it took me a long time to find one .

 

[bonehead]

Unfortunately I can't be around this weekend as I have the in laws around all weekend and family.

Someone save these. Like I say if no one wants the supersprint I'm interested.

Thanks for sharing the find.

 

[Purity]

[aeroflott]
