Only one image per advert. Little details of the advertiser.Ā Dates on some adverts are historic. I came across it by accident. I pass a scrapyard near me a few times a week, and have done for a couple of years. Some of the vehicles IĀ have noticed have been there all that time, with just a few bits visibly missing. Not allowed to enter the yard though, but would like to see what's in the middle of the yard that I can't see from the road, simply to photograph them mk2_craig and Remspoor 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Datsuncog Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Looks like a MK2 Fiesta, going by the line of the front wings... probably what mine looked like before the previous owner wobbed it up and gave it a quick blowover, prior toĀ selling it to me for Ā£120...

Volksy Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Yes.Ā It was a Newlander non walkthrough, so it still had the back of the cab. It had only done 30,000 miles. The camper body was ruined though. Mr H.Imp and I pulled it apart with our bare hands in about half an hour! It ended up with the pick up bed of a fire damaged Toyota Dyna which fitted perfectly - I guess they were based on this chassis. Friends had already done a full European Tour in it prior to it being given to me. But it was in danger of being scrapped, asĀ being stored on my friends drive, she was sick of lots of a certain community sniffing round it. bunglebus and adw1977 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually took the photos at a show in 2017, but I noticed he had a fresh MOT on it recently. What is the exact law on welding and suspension components, and does it still need an MOT? somewhatfoolish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
