Thought you would be interested. 😁

I have no idea. The website looks is a bit iffy. Only one image per advert. Little details of the advertiser.  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 I 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

Was that a MK1 XR2? Good way to destroy a load of useful bits

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 to selling it to me for £120...

It looks ok in this pic, but the subsequent MOT was not kind. Not kind at all...

Mk2 XR2 minus the bodykit. Those photos have been doing the rounds for a while now but yeah, still some useful parts. Those wheel nuts might still be reusable

Ah I can see the indicator holes now. I knew my tired brain was telling me XR2
