[Andy504]

Yeh it p1sses me off too, i know were there is a mk 1 essy 2 door that has been sat there for over two years now without being touched, yet every time i call the answer is the same, no im doin it up, when i ask myself, to$$ers, same guy has a 2 door mk 2 outside, he will never do it up just let it rot away, makes my blood boil.

 

Hopefully tho when it does rot and the quarter bumpers fall off i may get them cheap as he wont have anyfin to bolt them to.

[orionmojo]

not too many round rum that i've seen.

 

there re a few mk1 fez' hat i've seen and waved to, but there old duffers in them so they dont wave back.

[Mr Sam]

neighbour where i keep my fez is a classic he scraps cars usually gets them for pennies then tries to charge me no end for something.........then crushes it a week later

[Burns]

my uncle's got a capper that's been sitting on his drive for about 7 years but it's still a runner and he drove it when he moved houses about 4 years ago, still, it's just sitting there waiting for a good thrash

[MK II Mark]

I know of a MK II 2 door escort just sitting in this old tossers garage and he won't sell it...

 

I'm gonna wait till he drops off the perch and swoop

 

Whats the point of hanging onto stuff like that when your about eighty and never gonna use it again

[Rick]

il take a picture of one today when i drive past it.

 

its an amazing black mk1 and its been sat there for aaaaages and the owner is an arrogant twat who wont sell it cuz he thinks its worth more than it is...

 

another winter outside and it may not be worth saving...

 

there was another mk1 i couldnt get but i managed to get that one after a years hard work

[60ftman]

I was trying to get hold of an Alpine (to make a Tiger out of) which had sat in the guy's garage for fifteen years.

He'd started to 'restore' it, though it was largely f*ck*ed with most of the sills and door pillars missing (so bad they wouldn't support the doors).

I made him a sensible offer, which he accepted straight away, but said I couldn't take the car immediately as he "had to get all of the parts together".

 

I rang him every couple of days for about three months. He was:

Out.

Out of the country

In Hospital

On Holiday

Just popped out but would be back in a minute.

 

etc etc.

 

On the odd occasion during this time that I did speak to him we had to 'renegotiate' as he'd found 'lots of new parts' and therefore thought the car was worth far more. It's the only deal where I've actually haggled up!!

 

At about the 4 month mark I actually managed to speak to him straight away.

"It's gone mate - I scrapped it"

 

What really pi**ed me off was the time I wasted, and the fact that I knew he'd taken more money for it. Why not be honest and say?

 

W*NK*R!!!!

At the end of my road there is a Mk1 Cortina in someones front garden... It's been there since my dad did his paper round back in 1965 Needless to say it's knackered, but the chap just isn't interested in parting with it.

There is a rumour that he has got a genuine Lotus in his garage, but that has yet to be prooved...

[flyingbanana]

there was a 4 door up the road from me and me and my mates asked about it for ages and he wouldnt get rid then one day i went by and its gone ....i know some one has a mk1 cortina...4 door and havnt asked him yet if he wants to get rid of it has i might get it to repair my dads one that ive been given and ill be the 2nd owner .....only prob it was stolen and written off and sat in the garage for over 30 yrs

[3.0s]

we knew of a mk2 cortina not far from us think it was a 1600 deluxe rotting into ground we opened the drivers door and it kinda collasped we asked would he sell it nope then asked could we take some of the chrome bits off grill bumpers etc and the man said no it will be an eyesore lol eventually he said we could have it by this time you woulg need something like a tractor to get it out no chance was gone later after that(scraped id say)

 

knew of a corsair ina field back in 98 when we had ours was getting bits off it and the drivers door wouldnt open so we tried kicking it out from the inside and it came off along with the front wing wasnt worth having bits off it

[Rick]

here ya go check this beauty rottin away on the wet grass... been there 3-4 years now untouched and i know various blokes that have been turned away upon asking, including myself twice

 

 

'nah not for sale mate'

 

i checked its reg on the dvla site and its a 2 litre so could be an rs2000

 

the plan is to roll up in my 'scort when its done and see if that changes his mind

[antz]

mk2 escort 2 door. been on axle stands for 6 years. got knocked off them 2 years ago by a caravn and all he did wass prop it back up. the rear end is all smashed in now.

 

he turned down an offer of £1500 3 years ago from a rally boy in desperate need of a re-shell.

 

its still sat there

[Rick]

thing is when they do decide to sell it will be so rotten it wont be worth jackshit and the scrapman will end up taking it

 

 

i also know to a mk1 scirrocco which quite frankly is rare as these days. he wants £350 for it though :-S

[DaveC]

There is a brown mk2 escort around the corner from me, going round tomorrow to ask about it.

 

There was a Mk2 RS2000 nearby sitting in a garden for about 3 years, but it disappeared.

 

I heard of a guy who had a Mk1 Cortina rotting outside his house. He wouldn't sell it to anyone. Eventually somebody waited until he wasn't there and took it away

[Arched Escy]

i know where theres a good solid mk1 escort with Pinto,lying in a garden,and will not let me near it!Theres 2 mk2 escort 4 doors and a mk3 capri down the road from me which I constantly rob(well i do ask first) parts from...the capri and one of the mk2s are beyond saving and the other mk2s fairly clean!Lovely red interior( )

 

Oh,and theres a mk2 xpack flat front not to far from me either...2.0 pinto twin 45s etc....but the lad has a flatfront rs2000 rally car build going on(cossie duratec!),said he couldnt be arsed with the other one but he wont let me have it!
