[Guest Len H]

That must be an Iranian IKCO Peugeot 405, wonder what it's doing here!

 

It's still in production with added gaudiness.

HOLY CRAP!!!! Yes it is! what ON EARTH this car is doing in UK?!.... That is unbelievable! Did you know that they made a RWD version of it too? Guess what powertrain they used on it? The Paykan/Hunter with the Rootes 1.6L Avenger Engine. I have a thread about that check it out http://autoshite.commlm/phpbb3/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=10686.

well, if they don't want it, I'll have it for the price of scrap or thereabouts! The damage seems to be very limited, so it won't need a lot I guess, and it will be 'fun' dealing with the DVLA bureaucracy (or is some VIN-raping in order? ).

 

Do we know where the company has moved to (hopefully somewhere nearer than Vietnam!)?

[Guest]

HI Shahin. Would you know the year of it from that grille style or trim? L.A.U No sadly I dont as the unit was stripped out completly empty.

Christ on a bike!

 

WHO HOW WHY WHERE WHAT!?

[ProgRocker]

Respect to whoever it was for importing it to the UK. Seems like a crying shame for it to sitting there dowing nothing, attracting the unappreciative chav vandals.

L.A.U No sadly I dont as the unit was stripped out completly empty.

 

could you PM me with the address? I'll see if I can fish something out...

Done.

Cheers. The company managing the business park seems to be 'dormant'- not looking too promising!

YAG! @ The brand new never-registered Peugeot 405 Its already got a wheel trim missing though It needs to be saved. Quickly.

 

I know someone who has a never-registered 90' Rover Sterling. Not seen it in the metal though.

An update full of the good, the bad and the hideous... excellent work.

 

But what is a fniikud?

 

[Guest]

I dont know michiel - is it something you can translate for us? Keef that nice Wolseley had it yellow / white plates untill recently

[keef]

Wolseley had it yellow / white plates untill recently

 

Why do people do that? The original style plates look fine. It's not as if you can only get historic road tax if you have silver on black plates.

That black Mk1 Capri looks great! Timewarp stuff, I remember our neighbour having a very tidy Mk1 in the mid-80s.

[michiel]

FNIIKUD could be finnish... or an acronym? Fear Not, I Is Knot Ur Dad. Or an anagram for FUK 'N' DII.

[Guest]

Local MP seems to have pissed off one of the local's

Allthough not shite as such have a crispy fried 206

[Guest]

The burnt out Peugeot above has been robbed of bits. Its fucked why would anyone do that - look at it

And they cut the cambelt

[worldofceri]

I guess the lights could still go on the 'bay and the bonnet and wheels would weigh in.

 

Still, with all the noxious substances knocking about from the melted plastics and battery I wouldn't go anywhere near it.
