Jim Bell Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Its Autumn. At all points of the compass leaves drain from green to golden brown and race like feathers to the ground. Where they die. Pops WW rang me out of the blue. "Son, I've found a car under a pile of leaves." Me: Dont you mean in a barn? "No, in the next village under a big pile of leaves. Under a big tree." Me: Well that wont be worth owt. If only you'd found the same car in a barn. "Its a BMW. I thought you might like it. So I bought it." Me: Send me some pics then please.

Cavcraft Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Dire. At least the engine bay should be free of leaves, the oil leaks will have taken care of that problem. Is that back wheel on the piss, or is it just the picture? Supernaut and Robson3022 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garethj Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 My brother had one like that, the ABS light came on and it cost over a grand to fix. Still, you might be alright, there's always a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spike60 Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 My Lady had a 53 reg 2 door, 'twas a lovely thing to drive but got sacked off when it took a liking to supping oil.

Lankytim Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Nice! The rear seatbelts are buckled up though, almost as if it'd gone for an MOT and failed then been abandoned.

bub2006 Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Well played Sir. Sounds like your father is a top bloke. Should be fine with a clean. But I have to agree the wheel does look squiffy but again could be the angle. What could make it go like that otherwise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuvvum Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 I had one almost identical to that, although being a V-plater it was pre-facelift. Wasn't a bad old bus at all to be fair - decent steer and bloody good on fuel for what it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
