I used to pass there quite regularly in the late 80s and early 90s with my parents but never really stopped there so decided to have a walk around. I remember there various cars parked up there. Cortinas, Maxis, more recently a white W124 Merc. A couple of houses on the same row have always had forgotton cars sitting on the front driveways. I think one house has a Volvo 850 estate and another house has /had a mid 80s Vauxhall Astra (?) cant say i ever really take much notice, but those 2 micras and the vehicles before them were always a landmark as such LOL..think the RR Vanden plas were there for well over 30 years, then 1 day - gone..pity really Lord Sterling 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This guy who dragged two out of fields did an amazing job on his. It's on SORN and had a logbook issued in 2012 so may not have been left too long - and it's on hardstanding. I'll see if it has a tax disc next time I'm passing. It amazes me that up until not so long ago, there were three MK3 Cortinas around here just sitting on drives, another orange one that I never papped has disappeared, and this 2000E 1600 GXL sits on a main road - sure the guy used to have a Maxi too 20190722_140449 by RS, on Flickr Saw on Facebook this has now been scooped up by Aaron jacobs who seems to pounce on any cheapish cortina and break them for spares. He seems to find a couple a week. bunglebus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is something I do not get: why did the Bavarian Motor Works not assist ordinary coil springs at the rear with those airbags for the self-levelling, rather than rely on airbags alone for rear springing?

Yes; I'm not a Cashcow Connoisseur; I've heard that the Trim Clips holding that particular piece of Trim become brittle over time. Because I'm all heart, I'm going to give everyone I know with one a Christmas present! Tape to hold it in! 😇😇😇 R1152 and chaseracer 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunglebus Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Finally got the Jag and Ignis. Jag hasn't moved in forever, and the Ignis has been on axles stands for a long time too. They might live again, but I doubt it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
