Car didn't live much longer I suppose it is technically now a four owner car but the third (me) didn't keep it long Poor thing Cavcraft, richardthestag, Coprolalia and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D Spares & Tyres Posted March 13, 2018 Author Share Posted March 13, 2018 This was smashed up and dumped outside the yard. Was there all day half blocking the lane so I dragged it into the yard. Called the cops. It turned out to be nicked and they sent a recovery company who collected it the next day and took it 30 miles away. It was later spotted locally back on the owners drive. Madness, it was ruined. Why on earth he would pay to get that back I do not know! oldcars, Dirk Diggler, Dick Longbridge and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D Spares & Tyres Posted March 13, 2018 Author Share Posted March 13, 2018 That yellow van looked in better shape than this heap. DSC_0191 by srblythe, on FlickrIt was totally rotten underneath. The estate was in far better condition. If it wasn't for the bent and rotten roof where the yellow one had rested for the last 15 years then I may have fixed it.

Hertz Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Its not mine thankfully, it belongs to another shiter Ha! Yep guilty. Not seen it in the flesh yet but I was prepared for rot. Not running yet either but the seller said it should run, apparently she shed a tear when it went. My mate also shed several when it arrived.... bigfella2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
