Rare cars that have been scrapped recently.

[SambaS]

Don't have an answer to that one sorry. Too much????

 

What's the combined weight of a Transit and a Tagora?

[SambaS]

My mate at the scrapyard says beaver tail Transit can carry 1.5 tonne

 

 

......and a Tagora's Curb weight is 1255-1345 kg

I'll get some pics for you if you like. It is rotten. I already put a jack through the sill/door cos the tyres were same as my FSO

There's a Triumph TR7 in my mates yard thats doomed. And an Opel Manta. And I guess the Granada Hearse and Limo but they are both for sale so may get saved. Not much hope for old hearses tho!

 

TR7? Donor car ? Let me know...

 

Please. Appreciated.

I was lucky enough to be taken for a spin in a v8 one last summer. Roof down - what a noise. Was fan-tastic! Snaked up the road through 1st, 2nd, 3rd. I was a happy boy that day

[YugoLada]

This is for sale in a different yard. I cant get the £300. I rekon it will get scrapped. 49,000miles owner passed away

Can anyone buy that Horizon?

[KruJoe]

If anyone needs a hand shifting the Horizon, gimme a shout, Leyburn is not a million miles away.

Will it roll ok? Keys present? I have access to tow car, A-frame and flashy light.

[Torsten2001]

If anyone wants a low mileage Horizon I have a giffer spec 1.1 in the dungeon for £250! It's not likely to get scrapped!

[SambaS]

Any pics.... Gold car is for anyone who wants it, i dont know the seller, its at a diff. yard but will go up Friday and get more pics and gen.

[Torsten2001]

Here it is, form an orderly queue:

This isn't the one with a Metro rear window is it?

I don't think it was this one, I think it was a C reg LX model in metallic blue IIRC, I saw it on retro-rides. I nearly bought it but decided to go with the idea of importing a Renault 14 instead.

[Torsten2001]

no, this is ex Pandamonium.......it hasn't been hit!

[SambaS]

I have some new info. on the gold Talbot Horizon and the Triumph TR7 as promised. I will upload the pics and provide a link, it takes ages because I'm on my mobile :I

Last year a Lada Niva got scrapped

[AnthonyG]

Last year two got scrapped then - my mate weighed a red K reg one in. The clutch had gone and it had been standing for four years in a Welsh field, hence the rust bug had bitten big time, front valance had just totally vanished. There's quite a few in France - they were popular there.

 

What's perhaps more interesting - has anybody bought a new LHD one?, there was a guy shipping them over in 2011, planning to target the farming market for cheap unburstable 4WDs that don't get used on the road much.

[Guest]

hmm I thought that Horizon was familiar

 

 

 

[Lankytim]

What kind of shape is this underground Horizon in anyway?

[YugoLada]

I hope it's in good condition!

Fuck me, are you going to do this for every model of car listed as scarce?

 

This is going to be a long bastard thread. You can't save them all.

I regularly see one (a 60 plate I think) in Old Hill. Not exactly the heart of the farming community though!

As would I

[Torsten2001]

pretty much as per the photos except the wheels are painted black, there is no spark apparently and it's dusty!

Buy the giffer spec one off Torsten, dismantle it 'to do up like that rally one innit' and then sell on ebay 2 years later as unfinished project to a man with a hiab and an irish lilt. That plan sounds so good I might actually do it!

[Lankytim]

Dusty? urgh- you can keep it in that case!

[HillmanImp]

So how do you know this car Benno?
