I'm going to go out on a very rotten and fragile limb and say I quite like how that Rover looks...

That appears to be a proper 1990s RS bodykit on that Escort, wonder if they're worth coin yet.

 

Also, I was watching The Bill earlier. That MK2 Cav in front of the Escort reminded me.

Apologies if this has already been posted, but my rural 'broadband' connection doesn't permit scrolling back through pages and pages to find out. Sunny with famous past now in a yard in Essex:

1987 Sunny in What Car? 12/88, now for sale by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr

 

The 1988 article was a Used Survey on the FWD 1982-on Sunnys.

 

Despite the lack of MoT it's probably about the right money for somewhere near the starting bid. Doesn't appear to have much rot, indeed in some areas it looks tidier than mine which has covered just over half the mileage. It'd be a shame if it doesn't sell and ends up being broken, but maybe I should give them a call just in case that happens? I could use a rot-free tailgate.....

Just as a general comment, new laws are afoot in France regarding rust and the CT. They were supposed to be introduced this summer, but have been put back till the end of this year....up till now, structural rot was not a fail and generally just ignored here, but will now no longer pass the test and apprently obvious plating is not acceptable as a repair....welding will need to be invisible...ie full on restoration-spec letting in new metal rather than a "just one more test" patch cut from an old washing machine and lashed on.

 

Expect a flood of older cars for sale cheap(ish) as they become impossible to CT.

Do you have a link to any webpages for this - I speak French a bit so be useful to see. There are few really rusty cars I see running about in France but the the few really bad ones I see....are very bad. Attached pic a not so bad one in daily use...these are nice big old vans and lots about still. Hope the 'bangers' dont disappear off French roads because of this...
