to even up the balance thought id post a few spots

 

broke my camera phone saturday and been trying to sort through pics as new one is creating same file names/numbers on memory card

 

another victim of the price of scrap another classic on death row pic taken on sat

this one was taken by my 18 yr old son who didnt know what it was

all the parts for it were sitting on back seat

 

 

to lighten the mood a little lovely camper van spotted by my wife on sunday -checkout the driver

 

 

in car practice shot -another camper van

 

 

this was parked on the road like this near me before xmas for 2 weeks hope the neighbours didnt blame me

 

 

very desirable original factory lada wheeltrims on this one -now sold to a banger driver (didnt make £2000 though )

 

 

moving camera practice on graffitied Previa ?? taken by wife

 

 

was offered this skoda estate several years ago (chevette engined )when it still looked like a car now sitting in a friends yard

 

same yard - rather large cargo van how much must that weigh ? ££££

 

 

for my final post - never to be spotted again ( sorry )

That CA Debonair is great, I'd prefer a slightly less rabid colour scheme myself though. for the Cresta.

I haved cried over the Skoda, Vauxhall PA and those lovely 240's!

Who on earth scraps a three window Cresta?! Aren't they mega rare?

[Mr_Bo11ox]

good job I dont live in one of those flats across the river from your scrapyard, i'd have a CCTV trained on it and check it every 10 mins to make sure no treasures had been krushed.

Yup, Cresta's are rocking horse shit. Doesn't save them from the crusher though. I expect that someone had that in their garage for years, tried to flog it but just got £50 offers from scrap vultures and cardigan wearing buffoons who base their buying strategy on 1976 prices. Probably alot of stuff like that being fed into crushers at the moment, purely because the practical classics price guide 'condition 3' value is £10 less than the weigh-on.

I have to admit, I'd never have believed any PA Cresta would be scrapped, let alone a pretty solid looking 3-window one!! Does no one in the owner's club (I'm sure there must be one) know about it? They'll be weighing in Mk 1 Lotus Cortinas, and Mk 1 Escort Mexicos next!

[bigstraight6]

That early 3 window Cresta does make a tragic sight, amazed it didn't get saved given its rarity, even if the underside was rotten she would have yielded some useful spares, the price of scrap eh

Wonderful spots, now I want one of those old Skodas...
