D Spares & Tyres Posted March 13, 2018 Author Posted March 13, 2018 This was smashed up and dumped outside the yard. Was there all day half blocking the lane so I dragged it into the yard. Called the cops. It turned out to be nicked and they sent a recovery company who collected it the next day and took it 30 miles away. It was later spotted locally back on the owners drive. Madness, it was ruined. Why on earth he would pay to get that back I do not know! oldcars, Dirk Diggler, Dick Cheeseburger and 2 others 5

D Spares & Tyres Posted March 13, 2018 Author Posted March 13, 2018 That yellow van looked in better shape than this heap. DSC_0191 by srblythe, on FlickrIt was totally rotten underneath. The estate was in far better condition. If it wasn't for the bent and rotten roof where the yellow one had rested for the last 15 years then I may have fixed it. Then engine out if it is now in a black 305 van belonging to Jon.k Junkman 1
