It's someone on here as they've quoted info from this thread that hasn't been posted anywhere else.

Because this thread is in a special corner of the dark net that's locked down tighter than Fort Knox in tornado season and only visible to a select band of people with Bletchley Park levels of code cracking skill.

 

Or perhaps any Tom, Dick or Truesdale with a cheap tablet, bus station wi-fi and the ability to press control and C could have done it???

There was a jowett Javelin (amongst others, was an alvis there as well if i remember) near my folk's house in east kent. Sat in a barn for donkeys years, the farmer knew it was there all the time. The farmer rented some of his other sheds next to it as workshops and one of the tenants (a proper twat by all accounts of everyone else in the village) saw this old jowett sitting there, decided to ring car and classic magazine, local rag, all sorts of shit descended on the village and dickhead tenant tried to pass the car off as his own, ,he had discovered it and was going to restore it after years of neglect, long forgotten barn find, all the usual old bollocks.

 

The farmer got wind all this and told the fella where to go and with the help of his son, told all the assembled press and photographers etc to bugger off! This was years ago mind, the farmer died in 2008 and his missus in 2012. The dickead tenant (copper) got pensioned off the force after being shot in the back of the legs, either running away from criminals or shot by another copper probably.

I ran past the Graveyard for Mazdas on Saturday and noticed they were all still there. Surely someone must want one of them. The silver 626 Coupe especially.

 

 

We went along for a look, the guy said he'd sell two of them, the green twr 626 coupe for £700 and the silver 323 4x4 for £800, he couldn't bare to let any others go even though he was admittedly skint, out of work with health problems and a disabled wife and daughter to look after.
