Next open Monday at 8am.

 

There is nothing noble about scrapping this MOT'd, one owner 405.

 

62k miles at it's last MOT in February and nothing unduly worrying in it's MOT history. These photos were taken by Alan Gold last Sunday (14/01/2018) so it's number may well be up by now but I thought it would be worth posting here anyway considering how clean it looks.

I was about to say give them a ring on Monday but if 10 people do then the price is going to be quite high.  Could somebody (preferably with a local accent) ring and then post a response?

 

'hawrite there pal, passed by yir yaird this moarnin, noticed ye've a wee auld 405 sittin ootside, ken if its fur sale like?' 

 

Phone up and say that and you should get a response.

So apparently Noble Recycling deal with exporting too so it may be earmarked for export which may be bad news for UK shiters; if they can get mega bucks elsewhere they aren't going to want to sell it cheaper here.

Despite blatantly sounding like I come from the home counties, I have done exactly this in the past in Dundee at a breakers yard.  It works, but you have to keep up the accent for the entirity of the conversation.  I thought I was busted at one point!

Were I the scrapman who'd just paid £100 to take it off someone's driveway, I'd want £4-500 to make it worth my while.

 

 

Could be any number of reasons its in the breakers, could be rotten as fuck underneath, engine shot, clutch gone etc. If it's had the COD there's no way back.

If it's as clean as it looks then £500 wouldn't be a terrible amount to pay.

 

Unless as you say it's fucked underneath

Mot Til end February... 61k and only minor advisories last test. This is only a couple of miles from me but nobles are unpredictable to deal with. The probably won't sell it. All depends on his mood on the day.

 

I can certainly drive past and see if its still there if anyone's interested. Local reg too.

How fucked is said LC?

The last time it was motd it failed on rusty sills, wheel bearing, cv boot and brakes binding. I've mostly ignored it since but have done the welding, the bearing and the boot. Just need to strip the calipers and clean them up then shove it in for an mot. That's if I can find the arsedness. The chassis is a bit flaky too.

 

I have wondered if export would be the easy way to offload it.
