A car which has been in the same Norfolk family since being bought from new almost 70 years ago is set to come under the hammer.
A grandmother, daughter and granddaughter all drove the 1954 Austin A30, which cost around £550 when new.
But the 800cc family runabout was laid up in favour of a new-fangled Renault after a holiday in France, Spain and Portugal in 1974.
And while its un-named owners meant to restore it, they never quite got around to it.

They left it languishing in a barn, with maps and paperwork from its final journey still strewn across the front passenger seat.
Now the car, whose bodywork has seen better days, is being sold in a classics sale at Anglia Car Auctions, in King's Lynn, which takes place over the weekend.
"Marriage, life and a Renault 4 got in the way of its resurrection," the auctioneer's website says.
"Although nobody had the heart to part with the A30 and there was a plan to restore it at some point."
It has 61,271 miles on the clock but is described as a non-runner.
Back in its day, the Austin was described as state of the art and could reach speeds nudging 70mph with "spirited driving", and accelerate from 0 - 60mph in 42 seconds according to a test by Motor magazine.
A radio could also be added as an optional extra for £43 and a heater for £9.
No reserve or expected price for the car is given.
But enthusiasts' websites say parts are still readily available, while restored versions can fetch £10,000 or more.
If the A30 doesn't float your boat, the sale also includes a 1960 Austin A40 (expected to fetch £2,500 - £3,500), a 1960 Austin Healey Sprite (£10,000 - £12,000) and a 1988 Austin Metro (£2,000 - £3,000).
