jonny rotbox Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Hi everyone, I have been away from this forum for quite some time (due to hideous computer problems ) but I`m glad to say I`m back and thought I would add a few spots from around Cornwall since I was last on here...a very tidy VW Derby, one lady owner from new and only 20 odd thousand miles on the clock!this Volvo has been there for as long as I can remember...possibly the worst example I`ve ever seen!never seen one of these before, spotted in the car park of the seal sanctuary in Gweek near Helstonwell thats about it for now but hope to add some pics of my (updated) fleet tomorrow, followed by some pics of my banger shite if you wanna see them?

bones96 Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 that looks like its held together with that rope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 The rope has been holding a tarpaulin on, that's why it's rusted so badly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Lobster Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Volvo is mega! I'd love to find space to just stick something so impressively rusty, just to watch it slowly return to the earth!Whats the Nissan? I'm quite liking these odd Nissans - wouldn't mind either a Cube or Pao if I had a use for one or the neccesary cash! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KruJoe Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 There was one of those Nissans on ebay last year (maybe it was posted on the RR 'bay thread). From the back it looks like a Hummer (though you'd have to be up a ladder to get it at that angle. Then from the front it looks like a Wartburg, and it is dwarfed by the other moderns around it!Good spots, get the others posted, buddy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Bo11ox Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 That volvo is marvellous! Loks like its folding up at the bulkhead.Engine is worth a couple of hundred to the right person though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigstraight6 Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Extra bonus point for the VW Derby having a TSW window sticker! (the long defunct Television SouthWest) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spottedlaurel Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 The Nissan is a Rasheen, which is based on a Japanese Sunny platfrom so it's definitely not a big car. Certainly not a hardcore off-roader either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny rotbox Posted January 27, 2008 Author Share Posted January 27, 2008 Not strictly an update on my fleet, or even pics of my banger shite but I did take some pics of this old mk4 Zephyr that I bought last year, it`s a 1970 2.5 V6 auto with column shift, I bought it from another banger driver with the intention of racing it but on closer inspection it maybe saveable, to be honest it`s more work than I`m willing to take on as I have enough with the current fleet there is some rather nasty tin worm in both A posts and the R/H/F inner wing but other than that it`s pretty solid (floors, inner and outer sills etc...) it starts, runs, drives and the brakes work, anyone interested? 250 quid would buy it or I`m open to offers/deals/px`s etc... for anything old or interesting be it track fodder or road going for more pics or info please pm me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny rotbox Posted January 27, 2008 Author Share Posted January 27, 2008 forgot to add...I spotted this rather lush ooftastic P5 Rover in Redruth on Friday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashmicro Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 That Rover is cracking. Top find.Those old Z Cars rot like buggery on th A's. Many moons ago I offered to weld one for a mate, and the welder blew HEE-UGE holes in what was left of the floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Bo11ox Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 I love those big tank zephyrs. Marvellous. If I had one i'd fit a Sierra twink and 5-speed then use it every dat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
