Indeed but if you read the text at the link it seems the family has been refusing to sell it for some 20 years. Never seen the point of that thought you know the old "we wont sell it but we could care less about It makes me so frustrated to see a great car rotting away.
V8ian Posted November 4, 2007 Report Posted November 4, 2007 Its not the only one, that ones in Northen Ireland, I was told of another one in deepest Kent, My mate is on the case to try and buy it.

Admin Vista Posted November 4, 2007 Author Admin Report Posted November 4, 2007 why is the engine still there? id have pilfered that a decade ago From the sound of it, if you'd tried you'd likely still be picking the shot gun pellets out of your backside now!
Rick Posted November 4, 2007 Report Posted November 4, 2007 lol true why dont people just stop being awkward and sell the rusty scrap on their land? a bloke at my work calls his scrapper 'a piece of urban sculpture' no mate its a rotten car that youl never get round to doing
tazrocks88 Posted November 4, 2007 Report Posted November 4, 2007 the thing is to us it is a part of motoring history that needs saving to them a pile of metal with sentimental value
X FLOW EDDY Posted November 4, 2007 Report Posted November 4, 2007 I know a bloke that has a genuine mk2 lotus cortina in a shed, he put it there in 1982 and it hasnt moved since It is in the same state as that mk1 rs 1600, the drivers side front strut is resting on the inside of the bonnet and most of the floor is gone. Me and dad offerd the chap a silly amount of money for it a bit back and he wouldnt give. Its very sad to see it rotting there.
capriaddict Posted November 4, 2007 Report Posted November 4, 2007 It will probably sit there for ever or untill the enviroment agency spots it and forces them to get rid then it'll get scrapped
