Or it was simply stolen and joy ridden 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidlandRed Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 It looks like someone’s attached an MFI wardrobe door to the front of the car 🤪 someone did a similar trick on the tram only tracks (off street - standard rail-ish type formation) near Birmingham Snow Hill at Christmas.

Rivercider Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 (edited) I imagine the car has been driven up the (very) steep Beach Road from Carbis Bay - which is pretty posh. There is a private driveway parallel to the upside of the line, but if you go straight ahead at the junction, and split the difference as it were this is where you end up, Edit - this photo is taken off the bridge looking towards St Erth This is the view from the bridge looking east. The car driver has managed to miss an upright rail planted in the ground beside the bridge parapet, which might have better impeded progress. 150244 departs Carbis Bay for St Erth, 12/3/2013 cheers Edited January 23, 2023 by Rivercider spelling error and photo added. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, looking on Streetview this is probably not the first time this has happened as the gate post has been replaced and concrete gravel boards/concrete posts added the other side of the fence between 2009 and 2015. Armco next??? Edited January 23, 2023 by RedgateModels 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcD Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 The big question is was it taxed? If it was you can rule Camborne out as the origin of the car. (Jeffro reference) Marc 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
