"Very little salvageable spares. Totally clean paperwork, including up to date V5C document. I have a Jaguar Heritage Certificate to confirm all matching numbers (no mistakes!). This vehicle is NOT recorded on any registers.

Expect someone's 67 E-type to disappear shortly.

These tractors were not the best when new and it doesn't bear thinking about what the steering is like with the weight of that contraption above the scrawny front axle. Best of all, it appears that the seller doesn't feel that being totally buggerated detract from this having the makings of a good restoration project.

I bought this a few years ago and havent touched it.
 
Hopefully someone will take it on and restore it as its really not that bad.
 
The mini is fairly good structually and wants just small repairs to the front floors. It also wants sills, rear quater lower repairs, boot floor and valence repairs and the front end. There will be other localised repair needed. 
 
I cannot find the v5 so you will need to apply for another.

Just bloody scrap that hopeless heap.

 

 

 

Oh do fuck off.

 

 

 

Yeah, it's rare, but I don't care.

I will have a little bid on this as that 6 cylinder lump would look good in the hearse. I doubt there is much else there worth keeping though but flogging off the trim might get most of the money back.

This had just gone through the process, it's either the first escort off the production line or it's some super important racing car because who the fuck would restore that

Mk3 Cortina 2dr though, innit?

 

Not common, but worth nowhere near 2dr Escort money just yet.

 

Brave restoration for someone, anyway!

But what a terrible pity. It needs to be carefully harvested for bits, many of which would make a bloody fortune. Not in the UK however.

Looks as though the owner has given up on that Cortina.  The amount of surface rust and the chucked in panels suggests its been sat there for a while.

That looks like Bramble, the 2-door Cortina 2000 GXL automatic:

 

 

If so, its even more fucked than Pete thought. Pity. 

 

Having said that, Swampy, his 2000 GXL saloon, was in a similar state, but he restored it to better than new condition :)

Is that the one which was found at the bottom of a lake after several years?
