Angrydicky Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 As above, this famous/infamous Cavalier which until recently was emblazoned with anti-ULEZ slogans has popped up for sale at Copart Sandy. Current bid £250. I’m genuinely surprised to see it up for sale, I thought he’d be buried in it. It desperately needs saving if anyone fancies it! It’s a 1.8 petrol, manual and has mot until November. Why it’s ended up at Copart is anyone’s guess. The damage down the side is quite old and nothing to do with it. https://www.copart.co.uk/lot/51061633/clean-title-1995-vauxhall-cavalier-c-sandy cobblers, Matty, Lacquer Peel and 3 others 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HMC Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 sounds like he blocked a road in march as part of a protest and then accidentslly reversed into another car. Maybe its in copart after the insurance fallout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angrydicky Posted May 17, 2023 Author Share Posted May 17, 2023 It’s a bit weird. There was no damage to the Cavalier in that accident and as far as I could see, hardly any damage to the van he reversed into. No keys is maybe a clue. Piers obviously didn’t want to hand them over which points towards the bailiff scenario. But why would a bailiff bother lifting such a worthless car against a £44k debt?

They will lift anything that can be sold off. Selling that cav won’t touch the surface but they will still do it.

barrett Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 I think the best thing for this is to be cubed and forgotten. Like Savile's Range-Rover carawagon thing, there can't be many people who would want to preserve something associated with such an unpleasant person. Scrap it and move on.

Angrydicky Posted May 17, 2023 Author Share Posted May 17, 2023 Hang fire on bidding on this deeply joyous vehicle chaps!

sierraman Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 I’m surprised they even auctioned it tbh, I’d have thought they’d have an agreement with the local breakers on really old tackle that might net £300 or whatever. Does look a tidy old thing though, shame the former owner is nuts! Though fair play to him for standing up. Angrydicky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floatylight Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Would be quote funny for him to turn up to collect it, the staff mumble about no keys, him pull the keys out of his pocket, flick the ignition and drive off..

Angrydicky Posted May 18, 2023 Author Share Posted May 18, 2023 Looks like the damage down the passenger side is more recent than I thought, it looked in reasonable condition when the police seized it for no insurance last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think if something is seized, it has to openly auctioned and sold to the highest bidder, otherwise all sorts of allegations of corruption would be made,quite possibly justifiably. As it is, he has the opportunity to buy it back if he wants. Imagine the fuss he'd make if it mysteriously appeared on Car and Classic for £2995,former celebrity owner! warren t claim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angrydicky Posted May 18, 2023 Author Share Posted May 18, 2023 If he gets it back, he needs to put it in a friend’s name (plus give said friend a receipt for purchasing it, and keep a copy). Then the bailiffs won’t be able to touch it! Banger Kenny 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Longbridge Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Check out the MOT history for this old shitheap. Lots of really clean passes over the years and the few advisories given have been very minor, for things like damaged number plates or headlamp beam pattern incorrect. How has it escaped the tinworm?
