Abandoned S Type

[cpjitservices]

You can all be rest assured, I’ve dropped a note to the owner of this fine thing - check MOT history.

 

22k miles!!!!!

Will see what comes of it.

Prefacelift arse end, but facelift interior… the perfect match!

If that doesn't work out I've still got my late dad's s type available for scrap money 😉

lol haha im not planning on buying another.. or I wasnt. This ones literally in the next street from where I live!!! Happened to take a shortcut home and voila... saw its arse hanging out of its drive and noticed how forlorn it looked.

Drop details here please.

I wonder what is like underneath?

[sierraman]

It sounds an incredibly quick way to lose a shit ton attempting getting it back on the road tbh. It looks like it’s sat there since God was a lad, plus you know with these things the owner will probably think it’s worth £52 million quid.

Possibly indeed. Though id not pay more than 200 notes for it..... So Id make my money back on it if its screwed.

At first glance it seems ok, but you wouldn't know for sure until you take the sill covers off. Though usually if the sills are bad, you end up seeing rot just creeping in the bottom of the arches - could see no signs when I had a look. But you never know!

You never know, might be cheap and not rotten!

Hopefully the current owner hasn’t attempted a home brew conversion to battery power 👀

Tell me more….

Update : Guys a bit nuts. He reckons it’s worth 10k - 20k with an MOT.

 

I left and did not continue the conversation at that point.

 

it can sit there and rot.

Dreamer.

I knew it. It’s worth absolutely fuck all I’m afraid £1,500 tops with a test - that it’s never ever going to get through. 🤣 
 

To apologise for wasting his time I’d send him round a dustpan, brush and some rubble sacks for when it requires sweeping away in 3 years time.

We will come back to this thread in 3 years and update it... when theres just a pile of sand sitting there which he will still think is worth 10k bro. 

Its going to be sitting there a while lol

[barefoot]

Or you could say it's a shame as you were prepared to offer £9,500 and then when he comes back to you in a fortnight,  tell him you've bought another...

Definitely do this!

[Homersimpson]

Sounds like the lift isn't going all the way to the top with him, even a really nice S-Type R would be way less than 10K, that old shitter is worth less than £500 as it stands.

It will no doubt dit there fur years with numerous people knocking on the door t find he wants a fortune for it until one day he falls off his perch and his family sell it for the scrap value he should have got years ago.

 

It happened to a Frogeye and a Healey 3000 round by me.

That's a new phrase on me, duly noted 😂

Be a while before he falls off the perch.. he was only mid 40's Id say.. 

It can stay there all the live long lol.

He must have had a hell of a good time at Glasto. Just what, and how much did he take? A good one, with complete service history, one owner, always garaged and very low milage would be lucky to make £2500. On average, £800-£1500, with of course, a full MoT.

[bezzabsa]

offer to pay full asking IF he MOT's it AND finds another at that price!!!!

or tell him to sell the plate and offer him £500
