I'm surprised that you've managed to find three W116 Mercedes, particularly as one of them is still at 'work'! They seem to be getting pretty rare.

[Torsten2001]

Well I managed three Saab 99's today!

Toilet blue Scrote

Tidy 11 with a great number!

F*ck knows what this is but I bet it started life as a Herald

SORN'd Chav

Toyota Tercel, I didn't think they imported these versions

Forlorn Morris Mini 1000

Early Audi 100

P5 Rover salloon

A trio of Saab 99's

[Torsten2001]

Montego in need of some love

245

Opel Munta

poorly SD1 3500

Chevrolet Impala

[Torsten2001]

lovely early 205

Gorgeous CF

derelict Fiesta

Renault 5 Flair

Tidy Agro

My favourite of the day, a 1984 Hyundai Pony!

[Mr_Bo11ox]

HOLY SHIT - A PONY

 

[pogweasel]

[Mr Lobster]

Bloody R11 TXE Electronic and in black as well!

Oh hai, i luv yu, wud yu like to live wiv me.

[michiel]

What? An 84 Pony? Wow!That red Saab is weird... registered as a 1942 Saab 99, no MOT needed (pre-1960). What the uck??

[Milford Cubicle]

Is that J-reg 99 old enough to look like this?

[Torsten2001]

Reckon!

[Richard]

That J plate SAAB is a 1709cc. I think that means it'll have a freewheel, which is supposed to be quite scary on a car as heavy as the 99.

[Milford Cubicle]

Definitely a pre-facelift one then? I'm not sure which I prefer, they both look odd.

[reallyloud]

Marvellous. I think that FSO would have come from Worcestershire originally. Interesting arcticle - seems quite balanced too, especially as they assume that Botnar was never actually guilty of anything.

[Torsten2001]

Earlyish Uno 45 with the 903cc donk, tax & MOT, £200 anyone?

another R11

82 BMW

original Festa

Camry

Rialto

1973 Triumph Toledo Overdrive no less

Ford F250 Diesel parked attrociously

[Renault18]

Bloody R11 TXE Electronic and in black as well!

Oh hai, i luv yu, wud yu like to live wiv me.

An ex-R.O.C. car, used to turn up at events and was advertised in the mag at one point. When I enquired several years ago it was missing, presumed dead. Nice to see it's still alive and kicking - maybe now's your chance to track it down and put in an offer Mr Lobster

 

Looking at my own car and the others that have appeared on the site just recently makes me realise that although the original R11 started to look dated in the late eighties, it now looks much more attractive and individual than the bland shite phase two that followed it.

[retrogeezer]

some top spottage there for sure!

[Mat.T]

good spotting, as far as i know the toledo never got offered with overdrive so its probably got the badge and o/d off a posher triumph. Something i'd like to fit to mine cos 65 mph its rather loud

[Mr Lobster]

- maybe now's your chance to track it down and put in an offer Mr Lobster

If it was't for the fact that I'm in Lancashire and it's in London (presumably?) then I would. However, if anyone wants to stick a note on it for me....

[Torsten2001]

I'm happy to note it up, it did share a driveway with a modern Renault Kangoo(?) so I'd presume them to be enthusiasts

[Mr Lobster]

Brilliant, thank you

[Torsten2001]

pm me your phone number or email addy and I'll bung it on there!

[Mr Lobster]

Done! Heres hoping they feel like selling.....

[mk2_craig]

X-reg 305, Polonez and RWD Pony. If I managed a haul like that in one day I'd feel WELL pleased with myself, well done Mr T

[Torsten2001]

Have some more, went to Involve to get my current 240 sorted and they'd just got this in:

Then I popped to the good old fashioned scrappie around the corner to find these:

A Ruston Hornsby Engine

I could've had a door off this if someone hadn't dropped their car on it

poking out of the brambles

quite a nice little Uno

a lovely BMW that I'm sure was cruising around a month or so ago

Then floating around sarrrf London a Dutton

a Volvo 360GLS, lively bugger I'll wager

a Volvo 340DL, no a lively bugger I'll wager

nondescript Honda

poor metro

and finally, my favourite spot!

[mk2_craig]

Audi's a rare sight! But how long before it ends up alongside that Uno and the mk1 Golf

[Torsten2001]

bit of a worry that!

[Torsten2001]

I had to go fetch the Missus from Gatwick this week and on the Purley Way I struggled to keep up with this:

and because I was early I popped into Bridges scrappy in Pease Pottage which was a bit empty but I was obviously upset to see a few cars that I would have saved and most I wouldn't:

A really solid and rare 2 door Scrote Estate, obviously stood under a tree for a while but otherwise good

A really clean 205GRD with an amazing piece of retro audio equipment, a Hitachi SW adapter, must be worth a bit to those in the know

Again, sat under a tree, only damage seems to be yard damage

45k on the clock 213SE with a slush box, spotless and rust free

Looked really straight apart from the motor on the roof

light front end damage sent this here

bit of a rarity now, diesel too

A Pair of Moggies

[pompei]

I've no love for Morris Thous, but I'm surprised that they are being scrapped rather than being sold for bits

[Mr_Bo11ox]

That Audi is amazing, who was I talking to about these? Whoever it was, they were certain that these cars were extinct in the UK.
