Spotted in Turkey and they're dime a dozen.

Hi, Complete long shot I know but is there anybody from NL here who has, or knows of, a place to store one, two or three cars? I've obviously Googled and have a few shortlisted but before I commit, thought I'd check if anybody here knows of anything. I'm in Utrecht but location doesn't bother me at all. Cost is main priority basically, although it must be undercover. Thanks,.

Is it this one perhaps?

My dad had an XY GTHO Phase 3 back in the day and used to thrash it around the bush chasing kangaroos. That would be worth between $500k to $1m now 🤦‍♂️

Great, thanks. That is helpful. Now I know I can keep "export" cars on my radar.

Hi, I often see cars for sale (Autoscout24 and Marktplaats) that are marked as Export. What does this mean? I assume it means they've failed their APK and they are uneconomical to repair. Or to rephrase: can an "export" designated car ever be (re)registered in NL?

Stupid question but are they recognised as such on the V5?

That's very kind of you, thank-you. I may take you up on that offer. I do have friends over there that could help out but didn't want to burden them with the shipping and storage. Not to mention most people aren't as tolerant as us with dirty car parts inside the house 😄

Well nothing in particular just now because I'm simply collecting parts when they become available. When I was in the UK I'd basically buy something every week that I have on my shopping list for the build, however this has become uneconomical to do with shipping etc. I could save up and buy in bulk every say 3 months but where's the fun in that. Plus psychologically doing it this way feels like the build is on hold for massive periods at a time. If I'm not mistaken Timms is the same as Burton in the UK only the prices are much cheaper at Burtons. If I ever get anything from them I'll tie it in with a holiday and go to Burtons rather than pay the extortionate Timms prices.

Slightly off-topic but are there any places to buy Escort (Mk1 & Mk2) parts in NL? I've Googled for days on end and come up with nothing. I've even considered Germany, France, Belgium but come up short there also.

Necro bump, sorry. Two questions: a) is there a way to follow his builds without Bookface? He used to have an awesome thread on Turbosport. b) Has the backlog mentioned above now been cleared? Obviously I can ask him directly but I'm still 6 months away from that stage so don't wish to bother him just yet.

How the hell did they get it given the storage state?! And why didnt they remove all of the grey cover? Bizarre.

One of the reasons why I left the nanny state that is Australia.

Or just get a factory one.

Makes my heart sink. Sorry to hear mate.
