 I know David Manners in Oldbury, opposite (sort of) the Asda in Oldbury. Never been there mind.

Sorry for the thread hijack but you remember that I said that the ASDA used to be UK Car auctions? We'll before that it used to be British Leyland Sales and Service commercial division. I found a pic of the back yard while pootling around Flickr last night...

 

 

 

As you were.

W-T-actual F is that Grunman about? It looks like an old walk in fridge that someone nailed a 1970's conservatory to.

That Granada reminds me of the one a farmer i used to know owned, his was a Gold X plate but in the same spec, it was a hell of a car.

[Angrydicky]

That silver base model Granada looks great! It's such a refreshing change to see one as virtually all the survivors seem to be Ghias. I think the base model, pre facelift MK2 Granada with steel wheels is a very clean design indeed, and one just like that would be top of my list of Fords to own at some point.

I can see the V6s future

Its my ebay account.

 

Is there a poor autoshiter discount attached to it?

I have a lot of time for a pre-facelift MKII injection, you must know.

However, not being rich, and considering that I must keep it in a concrete bunker I have yet to have constructed, so that not one of all the honourable gentlemen pursuing the respectable sport of banger racing assumes it being ownerlessly abandoned on my driveway, I understandably only have very limited funds available for the car itself.

[Billy - Medhurst]

Is there a poor autoshiter discount attached to it?

If it was mine yes - but its not. Helping out a friend whose health issues mean a unwanted clear out.

As I write that 2.8 has had 1095 views and 79 watchers.

[Junkman]

78 of which wanting it for what George Roper suggests.

[Billy - Medhurst]

He saved it from that fate - so who knows.

[Lord Sterling]

Wow! That Blue Allegro looks too good to be left standing in grass. It looks like it has been well looked after fir the majority of its life.

 

Did that Blue Carina have some sort of spoiler on it that went missing? It looks quite odd with those spoiler finishers on the rear corners.

Thanks for that! Very interesting, I see somwhere online that it was some sort of Bus garage. Someone did mention here somwhere that ASDA had to incorporate the old building into thier new building, I never noticed it before but it appears they did!

[George-Roper]

As I write that 2.8 has had 1095 views and 79 watchers.

Where is it now and hows the comparision with the 2000L watchers / banger racers?

[Billy - Medhurst]

2900 views - 140 watchers on the 2.8 and 1351 views - 61 watchers on the 2.0. 2.8 Must be track bound.

[George-Roper]

Christ that's some difference and rarity does not win

LOVELY ROVERS

 

I am fancying a diesel streetwise today - looks shite, 50+ mpg and enough grunt for A-framing old shitters down to the MOT station.... WIN.

950 Sniffs that granny ended at do bangers pay that much?

I thought it was a cheap sport once - using the £100 mot failures etc. How things change for a bit of worship / glory.

Great spots! I like those Astras. Was it for sale?

[Billy - Medhurst]

That astra is at a scrapyard - that's a council issued removal notice on the windscreen.

[Vin]

Going by the white wing mirrors, is that J4 an old royal mail van...

[wackywacerwill]

That commer has a marvelous patina about it. I'd like to think that some fresh fuel would see it pressed back into service no drama.

[garycox]

That Commer is brilliant, '60s ones must be mega rare now.
