Guest Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 1981 Ford Cortina 1.6 GL Cortina in Scotland - I knew it would be before I even looked at the location, on account of the weird house with the "shipping container" upper half. Dunno what they're all about, must be a Scottish thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pogweasel Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 No, they have them in other depressing locations too, for example Essex and Luton. "not suitable for mortgage purposes" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angrydicky Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 It's true, there's at least one street in Southend full of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trigger Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 There's a street in Silver End in Essex in which every house has a flat roof, It's the most depressing place I've been to. Anyway back on topic... How about this Uno with 45000 miles, MOT until March and some pretty jazzy graphics for £195. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mnde Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 1976 Volvo 66 GL Got a hot date with the most stunning girl in town? Drive her in this! Bonus points if you leave her sat in it whilst you go around pumping the tyres up with a squeaky single-barrel footpump from Wilkinsons.This is immense! T'has to be one of the best pieces of chod on here for ages, it just screams SHITE 1978 Morris Marina 1.3 L Lovely low-mileage Marina. Ahh lovely.

CIH Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Surely that Marina is screaming to have a caravan dropped on it or blown up or something ? Looks just like the Valiant from Duel, from the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rover420 Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 There's a street in Silver End in Essex in which every house has a flat roof, It's the most depressing place I've been to. The houses in silver end were built by Mr Crittell for the workers at his metal window factory. There's more than one street of them. I rather like the style of them but agree that they're mostly in pretty shocking condition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trigger Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 You know where i mean then, The last time i drove down there about 4 years ago the gardens where piled high in old sofa's and other crap and just looked so ran down whilst the rest of the area was quite nice.

Gompo Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Many thanks to Hirst and Mr B for much amusement over the last few pages. Love the Cesk! There's a few interesting cars on't Trader at the moment, but as ever I cant embed pics but i've uploaded a few for your pleasure: SEAT MARBELLA Ok, so I started with the best.. And decided to upload a pic: TOYOTA TERCEL This was good enough for the pic treatment too: Honda Accord.. at a dealer so expensive I'm turning into a Honda fanboy. Cherry, an expensive way to lose your virginity 'One for Pog' Millsamatic too Sunny but expensive Nice ornaments at the house behind! Austin Maxi w/MOT - £450 Allegro VDP.. £1695 1987 Corolla 3dr - £350 I really like these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spottedlaurel Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 I wouldn't say the Sunny or Accord are overly expensive, if they really are in decent nick and are capable of use without any great expenditure. I'd happily have either of them!I suppose my Bluebird was a bit pricey at just over £500, but I've been able to use it as my daily with nothing more than a set of wiper blades. Haven't even had to get new tax for it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tony Hayers Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 BISF (British Iron Steel Federation) houses, prefabricated in other words.As suprising as it sounds we have loads of them here (the 'Cornish' style) in Swansea. A knackered Vectra or Tipo is a usual garden ornament in them.I love that white Montego, getting the want for one bigtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trigger Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 This GARAGE HERE that I've found on autotrader seem to have a few bits of shite for sale. & Being my favorites, Also loveing the SVX and the Gold Celica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mash Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 I've been keeping my eye on this Sunny for some time, it really is in beautiful condition. I'm currently on the lookout for a new daily driver since my B11 spat it's dummy out. I suspect this is just too nice to use everyday though but I'm sorely tempted... I'd better hurry up and find a Micra before this ends up on my drive next to the other one! The 30000 mile Cherry is appealing too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gompo Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 This GARAGE HERE that I've found on autotrader seem to have a few bits of shite for sale.They've also had those two cars on offer for atleast a year - I'd wouldnt be surprised if it's two years. I was thinking about adding them, I'm curious if anyones been to view them or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
