Seriously?!?

 

Hard to tell from a photo like that, but while scruffy as all hell, that has to be worth saving...Even if it's irredeemably rotten underneath given it's an early car that could surely provide a lot of hard to find parts for another vehicle being restored.

Had a recent jaunt to Berlin. More shite than you ccould shake a stick at.

However I was there with a group soso not much time for spotting sadly.

Good news on the CX!

 

Is it really sad that out of everything in that recent batch, the one that immediately leaps out at me as being in dire need of saving is the M plate Panda?

 

... assuming it's not actually still in use anyway, but the state of the paint suggests otherwise.  Though it does have a current MOT apparently.

 

Epic duct tape bodywork repair on that Sunny!

I did knock for the Panda, a Belgian lady answered the door. 

 

Apparently she got it from a friend in 1999 & loves it very much, but last winter the heater fan went, she had it `repaired`, but it went again soon after. Needing another car, she got a Polo & the Panda got left. 

 

Irritatingly I sold my spare Panda heater box a couple of years ago, but I left my card & she`s considering what to do.

Correct, and it was mint too.

 

Bonus early finish from work meant I could pap these today. All within half a mile of eachother.

Note the Oddbins in the background. Didn't know they still existed.

 

This LDV normally has an ex post-office Pilot parked behind it.

Cavalier in Brixton last week (I forgot to post this in my previous dump).  I always get more excited than I probably should when I see another Cavalier in the wild.  CD spec same as mine.  Another one of those 'where did they all go' candidates, as the last time I saw another was about six months ago.

Visiting big brother in Trumpland allowed much shite spotting, although my efforts to photograph the best bits were stymied variously by fear of being shot by Cletus, random camera battery infarction and general mongness.
