What happened to your former shite?


Recommended Posts

Posted

As someone who has gone through a substantial amount of tat in a short time, I have prided myself on the fact that most of my old tat has stayed on the road long after I sold it. However, some have completely disappeared off of the radar, and sometimes it makes me regret getting rid. So, here goes, my old tat and where it went....

Ah, my first car. Such a long time ago. Probably the biggest regret sale of my entire car owning life. I had been kicked out though... 

I sold this to a well known Citroen enthusiast down in Salisbury, and he still has it. I believe it's picked up one or two dents since, but still runs fine. I sold it with 43k on it, now on 49k.

I bought this from a chap in Norwich. It was the start of something that still isn't under control, multiple car ownership. I did miles upon miles in it. Something like 4k in 2 months.....ended up being roffle'd, sold to Ian, he used it for a little while and it was sold. I am quite pleased it is still on the road.

I remember buying this when drunk at a work do, and whilst I literally had no where to live. Isn't life fun? Long story short, it had been through one or two owners who did nothing to it. I paid £££ for the cambelt, water pump, service etc, and then it killed itself with rot and electric calamity. Sold it to an 'enthusiast' who has done nothing with it. Pretty sure it's still SORN in my name...

This was possibly the bargain of the century. £200 for a low mileage, tidy, high spec 19. This was another huge regret of a sale, and is probably the reason I now insist on having one Renault at all times. Not sure why I sold it, probably because (like an idiot) I wanted to get the blue BX back on the road. Now with Krujoe.

Looking back at it, this banger was an absolutely terrible buy. At the time i just wanted a BX estate and obviously, me being me, had to buy the worst one going. The rear arms were knackered, the interior was full of old man bodge....I took it for an MOT and it failed, mojo instantly killed. PX'd against an AX at some grotty services on the A1 (yeah this was 2017) and it bounced around on eBay for a while, and recently popped up again as a leaky cheapie. Originally belonged to a shoe shop in Loughborough, and it did 160k in 6 years.

Ha, look at that caption! Joker. Obviously I had to try a 205 out at some point, and it was a lot of fun. However, the clutch set in concrete, the dismal seats (sorry, i hated them) and awful ventilation put me off. I sold it via eBay. It recently passed another MOT.

I bought this from eBay for like £170. The seller had listed it in the towing equipment section due to the A frame that came with it... sold to Jerzy Woking, and now for sale again.

This was another must have on the 'to own' list. Again, not sure why I bought it as back before I had a year of driving under my belt it was temporary insurance all the time, FFS. 

Drove fine when I had it, but the locks had been fucked about with, as per Peugeot. Sold to loserone and it then decided it wanted ££££ spending on it, which I still feel guilty about.

 

35121291575_df52d45b34_b.jpgCar #9 by Sam Osbon, on Flickr

 

I bought this off of a mate for £75. It needed new plugs badly, it sounded like a poorly HST when starting, clag and all. It then developed a perished priming bulb and spat diesel on the road. Got it fixed and it ran superb, did thousands of miles in a short space of time. I then sold it to Lankytim who discovered it was held together with wob and prayers, and it got shredded. Engine was still around..

I loved this little car. Bought originally for my other half, but then taken by me, naturally. I used it to commute in for a week or two back when I was carless otherwise and it was fine. Oddly quick with the 5 speed 1.1 carb engine, and it had a farty exhaust note like a Morris Minor. Only sold as I needed the money. I sold it to some guy in Manchester who didn't view it and hasn't taxed it, SORN'd it or MOT'd it since. A huge shame if it ended up dead as it was a tidy car with a non damaged early dashboard.

 

 

Anyway, enough French crud for now, what happened to your old tat?

Posted

First 306 - Scrapped by me after catastrophic engine kaboom.

 

Second 306 - Sold, still showing as having an MOT (but apparently it's red. I distinctly remember it being Moonstone Blue).

 

MX-5 - Sold to a giffer who's been doing about 1k a year in it, last few MOTs show lots and lots of welding.

 

Audi A4 - Sold to 17-Coffees' dad who used it for commutting for 6 months or so then an HGV changed lanes into the side of it, writing it off.

 

Omega - Still floating about Aberdeen

 

Xantia - Still floating about Aberdeen

 

Mondeo - Sold to Tayne's mate and is now bimbling about rural Aberdeenshire ferrying dogs around.

Anything of mine sold on Ebay usually appears back on the bay eventually with an extra 1 in front of the price. God knows it was difficult enough finding a buyer  first time - then they add the 1 - lifes too short to spend pitching nice old cars to idiots but if they want to good luck.

The reg numbers I can remember off the top of my head.

 

309 - went to live on a farm, no really, it did.

 

Micra - sold to a mate, dead.

 

Focus - crashed into a big tree, definitely dead.

 

206 - saw it recently, but mot site now shows dead.

 

C1 - still about.

 

Mini - still about.

 

308 - stolen from me, saw it in yard and it had been very much abused by it's temporary keepers, somehow back on the road.

 

Eunos - Shows no Mot or tax, it was very tidy when I sold it, still my biggest selling regret, just because it was so rust free and I let it go a week before Christmas way too cheap.

 

Shite Skoda Superb - still about, it fucking shouldn't be. Worst car I've ever owned and would have loved to have torched it.

 

Fiat 500 - Bought to share with other half, it was pretty shit. Still about.

 

407 - recently sold to same mate as Micra, to be used by his mother. Will perform dutifully.

 

A couple of motorbikes, all rightfully dead.

Bramz, there's always a home for your sloppy sevenths here with me. Except Renaults.

I'm lucky that I live within the golden triangle of RobT, HMC and Bramz. There's always something I don't need or want for sale that I must re-home.

How could I forget Mason, the LS400?

 

After my non-AS mate bought it off RantingYoof, he moved to America, so I bought it.

 

After me, it went through dome, 320touring, JohnK and dollywobbler before ending up in NE England with a guy who ended up buying the O.Z. Opera wheels from my gumtree advert and paying to get them couriered down to him!

Posted

No way am I going back through my entire car history, to be fair most of them have been bought in "one MOT away from death" condition and either fixed up for reliable use or run until test expiry and parted out.

 

The one that came closest to the brink was a Fiesta Ghia B123UTP, I rescued from behind a Jersey garage with an expired clutch. Fitted with mk1 XR2 engine and driven to Edinburgh, engine back out and mk2 XR2 engine put in. Through a test then used for a year, stripped for body overhaul, moved away and left in lockup for years. Shell eventually given away to a lad on the xrtwo.com who built it back up, sprayed it and after a while of being back on the road a breathed-on Mondeo 2 litre which must have made it rather a handful. I'm pleased it got a further lease of life twice instead of being fragged in 2002.

I think I've done more than 10,000 miles in your old 406, Bramz! It is just about growing on me now but I need to sort out the poor cold starting before Winter sets in again...

Most of mine got scrapped either by me or within a year or two, I find it rude to sell things with working life left in them.

Posted

Only one here (I know, shameful!)

 

1999 Hyundai Sonata - Free - Was my daily until it failed Rego on rusty struts and in desperate need of a clutch amongst other things it was parked in my garden 2ish yeas ago. Still there covered in moss awaiting repair, or more likely, the crusher.

Posted

Almost every single car I have ever owned has either been scrapped by me after something terminal happened to it, or was scrapped within 6 months of me selling it. This is mildly depressing.

 

Mk3 Golf 1.4 - scrapped by me due to having been involved in a big crash and expertly* bent out on a jig. Needed welding near fuel tank and was prohibitively expensive.

Mk1 Punto - Part ex'd with HGF, scrapped by dealer shortly after

Mk3 Golf 1.6 - sold in the summer with bypassed heater matrix, scrapped by the following christmas

Mk2 Mondeo Estate - sold to my brother in law where it spiralled from a decent, well looked after car into a mobile shed and scrapped to make way for a Mk2 Renault scenic

Skoda Felicia Estate - scrapped by me after a shunt on the M27

Peugeot 206 - part ex'd for another car as it was dangerously slow with an auto box and 1.4 engine on motorways. subsequent owner scrapped it

Almera 1.4 - scrapped after a particularly brutal MOT fail

 

I'd like to think I get my money's worth out of them, and always buy cheap cars in the first place. No point selling a car thats working and providing the service you want from it in my opinion. sadly, this means I'm almost always the last custodian of each car I buy.

I'd love to have a system where you can type in reg number and the MOT history is available to you. But that would required having a proper yearly inspection first.

 

As it is, I have absolutely no idea where and how any of my previous cars ended up.

 

But hey, maybe I'll make a call to the previous owner of my current car so he'd know what happened to his former shite?

No photos but...

 

Renault 5 - EMT113V. Last seen on bricks 1993 in an overgrown front garden belonging to the reprobate who bought it from me. Nice bloke, didn’t tax it, insure it, re register it or ever pay for petrol leading to several visits from Plod asking why I hadn’t paid for the £2.50 worth of four star from the local Esso. He never put much fuel in it!

 

Vauxhall Chevette - NUF546W. Bought it off a mate who, being an engineer had lovingly fixed it up. By which i mean it was bodged beyond belief. What sort of engineer forgets to fit gaskets or reuses shagged out parts? Spent loads getting it right until it failed the MOT on structural rot. Sold it back to my friend for £50 and it sat at the end of his garden until the day someone torched it. No tears were shed.

 

Renault 5 - L87 KNO. Bought 1996, px’d In 2000 against a new Fiesta. Good wee car. Completely disappeared off the face of the planet, none of the available systems recognise the plate but it’s definitely right. Maybe the plate got sold and is on something else? Or perhaps the dealer instantly fragged it when he realised the head gasket wasn’t really doing its job properly.

 

Peugeot 106 - N226BVW. Bought by then GF, paid for by me. Apparently died some years ago. The car that is sadly, not the ex

 

Fiesta - W91 XHK. Lasted until recently, amazing MOT history of failing on wishbones almost every year. I have no idea why the owners spent so much keeping it going but they did before giving up last year.

 

Corolla - L499 RMT. This was a great car and one I wish I had kept. Full executive spec with auto box and all electrics. Which all worked. Only flaws were the radio knob fell off and the tailgate struts were a tad weak. Gave me three years of absolute reliability, sold it to Parky Sr who himself had another three years trouble free motoring before scrapping it for a Citroen Nemo Multispace. He needed a car/van combo for work and the Corolla wasn’t that great in that regard. Shame, wish I had bought it back.

 

Picanto - AO55YBN. Liked this little thing, want another one as a runabout. Still going strong last time I checked

Is my / Bramz's old Xantia still broken?

Posted

I've owned and run around 90 cars since 1999, so I keep my list in an Excel file. I can't keep track of the history never mind the future of my cars.....

 

Glad to see my old Rover 416 still going though.

Nearly all mine are in the scrapyard with a few exceptions. Probably because they were fucked when I got rid of them. A couple are still going, presumably after great expense, the Mondeo diesel I had that chucked out tremendous amounts of clag from the worn out injectors is still out there asphyxiating the residents of Mansfield.

Posted

Is my / Bramz's old Xantia still broken?

 

 

Yes. I replaced the leaky return pipe and it sat around for a few weeks as I didn't have a chance to take it for an MoT. Then when I went to move it I noticed it had sprung a leak from the same flipping' place so I took that as a sign of not wanting to live, or not wanting to be owned by me. A man from Worthing wants to buy it but he is in hospital or something, I have totally lost interest. If you want to re-live past glories just come and take it away (and give me some beer money). Bloody thing.

Too many to check up on all of them, much of the older, interesting, stuff is still around. Most of the run of the mill stuff is dead, not surprised as they were end of life when I had them.

I have only ever scrapped two cars myself, I would have said three but I know that the hydrolastic mini I sent to the scrapyard in 1983 lived again.

Posted

I should think all of my six previous cars have been scrapped and turned into cans. 2 of them have been written off and the rest were too knackered.

Posted

As family cars go most have been scrapped.

 

The oldest car owned by my family and still on the road is a 1999 Citroen Xantia Estate which we sold in 2014 and is still running around with no advisories. There’s also a 2000 Citroen Saxo but it’s MOT history seems to be less prosperous so I wouldn’t be surprised if it doesn’t see the 2020s.

 

However, in my family three cars, in my eyes, could possibly live on:

 

The oldest is a 1950 Land Rover 80 (lights behind grill) which was my grandad’s first car back in 1962. He put a V8 engine in it later in the decade making him probably one of the first modders. According to the DVLA it was last on the road in 1992 but a 42 year old car very seldom gets scrapped. My most optimistic guess is that it’s on a farm somewhere. If anyone knows about OPA566 then please get in touch.

 

The next car is a 1970 Rover 3.5 Litre which my family sold in 1994 to a young member of the Rover P5 Club. It wasn’t in great condition but apparently he seemed keen to repair it. The real problem here is I don’t know it’s registration. All I know about it is CYK???H. So if you’ve ever seen a zircon blue 1970 Rover P5B with a registration starting CYK, please tell me!

 

Finally there’s the 1975 Mini 1000 which my family owned from 1977 to 1999. We sold it to a mechanic who shipped it over to America. With a completely different registration plate which doesn’t tell us any information as to the age of the vehicle, I’m not really able to track it down, but hopefully the mostly hotter climate and it’s desirability means that it could still be around

I love threads like this....I've done my own one (see signature) but basically all but three of my umpteen cars has died a death. :-D

Sticking to the shite history as I often seemed to run chod and non-chod concurrently...

 

  • '85 Fiesta Mk2 1.1L B(something)KKO - First car I bought back before I turned 17. I paid £50 for it as it started but wouldn't idle, I spent a good six months getting it to run sweet and put it in for an MOT which it failed dismally on corrosion. This was back before they were worth anything so it sadly got bridged and Dad lent me the money to buy something newer.
     
  • '99 BMW 318ti SE V179JBK(?) - My first of three Compacts. A half-hearted eBay purchase as I had sold my modern car to finance a flat. I wasn't expecting much from it but I really loved this car and probably did 25k in it in a year. I eventually sold it when the viscous coupling failed and the engine got cooked. The guy who bought it said he was going to put a 328 engine in it. I don't know if he did but I sold it in 2011 and its last MOT was 2014 so presumed dead. Shame. 
     
  • '84 Honda Prelude EX A453LLP - My Dad has had about 6 mk2 Preludes so naturally I wanted one.This wasn't really shite in any reasonable sense of the word. Giffer owned from new, I bought it after it had been kept in a garage for a couple of years. It had done about 35k or something and after a bit of faffing about setting the carbs, I probably did a further 5k worth of happy miles in it. The oldest car I have owned and (aside from brand new) probably the mintiest. I kept it for about 8 months but with a looming winter and no indoor storage I sold it to a chap who was a big Honda fan and collector and was very sad to hear it was written off by a drunk driver in a van a few months later. I was actually quite emotionally distressed by that!
     
  • '96 Citroen AX Dimension N248BKE - I bought this from my mate Rusty (how ironic) when drunk for £250. I don't know why, but it was my intro to cars that were both smoll and French and I bloody loved it. I ran it as a daily for almost a year until the MOT came up and the inner wings were found to be non-existent. I sold it on ebay for £100ish but it never got another MOT after that so presumed dead.
     
  • '98 Vectra V6 S515FKO - I bought this for £675 after seeing it for sale on the roadside near a friends house. Lovely car this, I bought it because I was doing a lot of motorway work between the UK and France and it handled it with ease. After a while I started doing a lot more driving around the doors and the fuel consumption was hurting so I eBay'd it. No idea where it went after me but last MOT'd by me in 2013 so I assume it to be dead. 
     
  • '98 BMW 318iS 2dr S104??? - Another E36. It had done over 200k but drove like a dream. Full leather and manual 'box too. Lovely stuff. I should've kept it but at the time I had the Vectra and a lease Fiesta on order. I last saw it around six months ago still driving about local-ish so presume its still going with the same guy I sold it to. 
     
  • '01 Audi A3 Turbo Auto Y667VBJ - Not shite. Just shit. I swapped a knackered VW Caddy for it. It had some nice Golf V6 leather seats in it which were the best thing about it. Shat its autobox one day and wouldn't change up higher than second or engage reverse. Limped it to the scrap yard and bridged it the same day. 
     
  • '02 Citroen Saxo VTS N99VTS (but will now be an 02 plate) - Bought mainly due to my love of my old AX. Another really mint car. I did heavily modify this with 306 GTi Cyclone wheels, full Bilstein suspension, stainless exhaust a Quaife LSD, big brakes, and eventually a tuned 16v lump from an ex-rallycross car! It was loud and lairy but I adored it. But the Mrs wouldn't go in it (too noisy) and a mental French hatch enthusiast offered me a lot of cash for it to join his collection, so its now basically a museum piece on SORN.
     
  • '00 Golf GTi Turbo - V439NGO - Weirdly this car was great despite being related to the awful A3 I had before it. Bought for £600, ran for a year and 10k and then sold on for £500 locally. It had been well modded and was very quick. Still going strong as an ox.
     
  • '95 Pug 106 N246WKP - Well we all know about this one. Bought as a distress purchase after accidentally selling my 325 on a Sunday when I had work Monday AM. I ran it for a few months and loved it. HGF occured and it was sold to a mate and lives on as a rallycross car with a 16 valve engine. 
     
  • '96 BMW 316i - Current shite. 
Posted

First car in 2009, '90 Polo Ranger. Had just shy of 19k miles when I got it. Current owner seems content spending money on daft mods than on maintenance. Now in Norfolk and would have it back in a heartbeat before it ends up scrapped, rat looked or some shit.

Second car, '92 Polo Genesis Coupe. Had very low miles too but turned out to be less reliable than the red one. Lowered it on cheap second hand springs and shocks which ruined the ride somewhat. Bought an ace and mega rare Kamei spoiler for cheap from Germany. Sold it to some lad from Inverness, it changed owner within a year and hasn't been taxed or MOT'd since. I'd have this one back, but only if I won a ton of money on the lotto or something.

1992 Volkswagen Polo Genesis Snow by Matt S, on Flickr

 

I bought this XM VSX Turbo Break sight unseen from eBay and it turned out to be very rusty. Sat in a field for a year while I tried to find someone who wanted to fix it up as apposed to all of the people who wanted to put the 2.0L turbo into a 205. Sold it to a guy from Cumbernauld who said he was going to take it to the Citroen nationals. He mentioned that he had 205's and it's since been scrapped.

 

In hindsight I honestly wish I had given it to someone for free on the grounds that they would restore it as I'm still bitter that I never got to daily drive it and that it's now bean cans. I don't think I'll ever be happy about this one.

Forgot to post a pic of the 1975 Mini that’s hopefully still retiring over in the states:

Here it is on British soil in the early 90s - the tent fitted in the Mini and the Mini fitted in the tent.

I've only scrapped two cars. One was a former FCF Xantia which had been fucked by multiple break ins, and the other was the spares Tipo I had. Bit of a shame to shred the latter but it was LHD and had the most disgusting dog ridden interior ever.

 

My old Tempra was scrapped by the thick as shit mug who bought it, and the former lanciamatt Dedra was too. Surprised about the latter but it was rotten. And ran poorly.

Posted

SP08 VZY - 2008 Toyota Yaris - Traded in against a Vauxhall Corsa at the same dealer I bought it at. It's still on the road although back when the MOT locations worked it'd ended up in Orkney.

SV62 ZXT - 2012 Vauxhall Corsa - Sold it back to the dealer at a massive loss, it sold within a day of being put on their Facebook page to a girl in her 20s and has since vanished off the face of the earth.

RLK 126R - 1977 Dolomite 1850HL - Gave it away to a mate as it'd failed it's MOT and I didn't have the means to fix it. It is still rotting away in a field in rural Aberdeenshire.

 

That's all the cars I've owned which I don't currently own... Except I still own the 1850HL 'cause the V5C is still in my name...

Posted

I really don't want to know what happened to my old Sunbeam Lotus,Ti's,Avenger Tiger and various Mantas,Strada TC's...

I'm sure they're sitting in various lockups as the prices go bananas

They were just "cars" to be enjoyed back then,a bit special of course but when 1 of my Ti Sunbeams' front end literally fell off from rust in the front chassis,just went out and bought another....

If you've sold a car and its gone bang or been scrapped soon after then you can rest assured you got out at the right time. With a few of them I've been glad I haven't seen them again.

 

Funnily enough the red MK2 Verona that I sold here still lives on, its owned by a care home manager who does a fair few miles in it. Doesn't surprise me though cause it was a good one that one, hence me selling it on here. A lot of the others had something serious up with them so got scrapped or flogged on Bumtree for 35 pence.

First car was a Samba Style C229FKL "Margarita" which had been retrofitted with an XY8 lump from a 205GT or XS. Looked standard but went like shit off a shovel. Died when a roadsweepers lorry pulled out in front of me. My brother nearly died in that crash.

 

Talbot Horizon 1.3 LS Ultra B542MLX "Rupert". Owned for 3 years before I gave the "Talbot Trundler" to my aunt whose 205 had recently deaded. Distributor siezed and stripped the gearwheels on the camshaft so was scrapped. Hardly any rust as 1 giffer from new who garaged it.

 

ZX Reflex, L435TGJ (officially mum's) but I used it 99% of the time. Became a family pool car after the Horizon died, and eventually became my brother's car after he gave me his old 205GL he passed his test in. He killed it driving through a deep puddle at speed.

 

1975? (P reg) Simca 1100S "Harriet". Can't remember full reg but was one of the first with the Chrysler Avenger instrument panel. £100 from a motor auction. Sold to another student I was at uni with for £250. Whereabouts unknown.

 

205 XS E87LUL "Lulu". Bought at a motor auction for £50 after I sold the Simca. Early XS with the suitcase lump. Ran for 3 years, sold on to a complete knobcheese with no tax or ticket as spares. Tried to sue me as it was unroadworthy. He was bollocked for wasting court's time.

 

205 GL E-reg "Martha" Was brother's car. Was previously his ex's. Ran it concurrently with the XS so had choice of suitcase power. Sold to a friend who's Mk4 Escort had been driven into.

 

1977 Reliant Scimitar TUW873S Overdrive "Jimi". Owned for 18 months before a British Gas van ploughed into back of it. Took off road to restore, chassis was terminally rusty in places, so I broke it.

 

1976 Reliant Scimitar OYH457R Auto "Beryl". Was used by me and dad in conjunction with the next car. Engine blew up on day I bought it, had it rebuilt but it was never the same. Wanted to transplant the tuned lump + O/D box from previous Scim, but never got round to it. Took front suspension off to rebuild, then I moved away from home, dad sold it.

 

1998 Peugeot 306 DTurbo R699FKO? (Unnamed) Used in conjunction with second scimitar. Died on A2 at Cobham when sideswiped by a tosser in an Audi into Central reservation.

 

1999 Skoda Felicia 1.9D Owned 2006-2011 "Rhoda". Longest I've owned a car. Bought on eBay for £1500 as very low miles and full Skoda history. Ran into ground taking mileage up to 150k. It just wore out in the brake & suspension department.

 

1992 Golf TD (low pressure turbo, no intercooler). Bought off a friend for £200. Ran for a year. Had over 200k on the clock but needed welding, brakes and a million other things.

 

1997 Ford Cougar V6 X (not disclosing dad's private plate) - was dad's car, birthday present from them as him & mum just bought new cars. Needed rear suspension rebuild by 2015 and couldn't afford the parts

 

2005 Saab 9-3 TiD Sportwagon G17 REA "Samantha" Still own it, but it's giving me grief!

 

Ford Focus 1.6 Ghia EN03HXW. Pile of shite that gave me sciatica and bollock ache. Got rid of after 3 weeks.

 

Photos will be added when I find some!
