I don't think Copart sells cars involved in deaths (I could be wrong) so I'm hoping it was parked up and someones driven into it.

I think you're right.  I remember reading that any car that has had someone die in it is automatically a Cat A write-off and will therefore go straight to the crusher.

"her bodywork and interior are very good however the reason she is spares or repairs is she has a problem with electric windows not working(becm) she will also need screen replacing"

 

Eh? The screen looks fine to me. Is 'broken electric windows' some sort of code for 'entire electrical system liable to catch fire'?

 

the screen is probably the sat nav, throw away society and all that

I assume that just applies to accidents that actually damage the car? Wonder what happens if someone has a heart attack/tops themselves behind the wheel

Meh, to be fair most of us sleep in bedrooms where there's a fair possibility someone has died at some point.

 

Has that Transit listing been pulled? I wanted to write a question for him in Polish using google translate.

I can remember a Fairway/FX4 that was involved in a fatal in Liverpool and was put back on the road.

Perhaps theres an exemption for cars in which scousers get 'iced'

Thinking on, that Essex Boys Range Rover was sold on after the triple murder happened in it.

My old work mate's Fiesta was still on the road after we put some bird's knickers under the passenger seat and his missus found them. He was quite badly damaged after that, but the car lived on.

Brand New Smith Lorry

NO RESERVE !! 

First a bit about this lorry. The company that manufactured the lorry's went bust mid production and they have not been finished. To me it looks like all they need is a engine and gear box. I have been told it is a Cummings engine that is required...

 

Looks to me like they should be electric...

That said, I do wonder why so many people just watch it. My 944 had 149 of which 2 bid at the last second, and the Merc had about 49 and no bids, so I can see why it gets frustrating.

 

 

 

Still added to my watch list though

 

My LDV just failed to sell despite 40 watchers and a whole stack of (not at all annoying*) questions.

 

Makes me begin to realise what it must be like to own one of these

Those 'Smith' lorries look like those sort of generic Daewoo/Isuzu/Mitsubishi things. They're the sort of commercial vehicle equivalent of the Fung Shee Wing Wong Dangerwank Chinese scooters.

'Do you and your partner want a new interest that you both can enjoy?'

 

Yes, but sadly for you it isn't No-More-Nails-ing a few broken primary school desks to the inside of an old van, nor using a 1978 colour by numbers book to stencil some pictures of hungry alsations down the sides.

'I must state the despite my best efforts I have been unable to get a registration number that is visible in any of the 6 photos'

 

 

'

Now here is the key bit on information. Look carefully at the photo used for the album cover. It is clearest in the official poster. Standing behind the car I noticed a man who appears to be walking around to get back into the car.

He fits the description offered to me by Mrs Mc Kenzie who stated that her husband always wore a tweed jacket to work'

 

 

Hi, would you consider a part-ex of historical importance? It's the actual (slightly) cock shape shadow from the Rolling Stones 'Exile on Main St' album cover.

Here is the key bit: if you look up the cover a bit you can just about see a really fit bird with what looks like a stick in her hand, standing on some 1970's school gym equipment. Her husband stated that she always shoved French loaves up her minge at dinner time in work'
