I just spoke to my brother who reminded me that our dad worked for Pearces Builders who had a yard opposite. He said it was 1973 dad took him to the yard so he could go fishing for the very first time in the pond at the end of the yard. He has no idea what the cars are either. bunglebus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pictured this blue one in 2010 - No longer on D.V.L.A Computer now though. R9UKE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R9UKE Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 I've had several of the later ones but never a phase one. Would really love to try one but as you say, the chances are extremely slim. Billy - Medhurst 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably, now this and cars like it are MOT exempt, it could stay there forever as long as the owners SORN it every year? I know it’s technically ‘on the public highway’ but I can’t imagine the DVLA care as there’s no revenue loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil_lihp Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 (edited) Not strictly dumped, but spotted in the yard of a local garage. Interior full to the brim with scrap metal so its days are probably numbered. Might yield some useful parts though if @dollywobbler needs any bits for his. Bonus Scirocco as well. MOT fail from last April suggests it's mostly made of bran flakes underneath. Edited June 22, 2020 by phil_lihp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
