Stoney871 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 As we have a Spot the poor Vauxhall thread I thought that this one could start a trend where we can post up pics of poorly and unloved fords we may come across. This one particularly caught my eye as a very sad car- 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 To be fair it is being used as intended. Lol Bet all that stuff inside has increased its value, Pity I didnt take photo of fiesta that was full of scrap metal, it was that full it looked seriously slammed. No travel on suspension left.

jeebowhite Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 What's the orange notice? Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted September 6, 2015 Author Share Posted September 6, 2015 It was a Council notice of disposal. The 'owner' had 14 days to remove it or it would be removed and scrapped. It's gone now with all the rubbish that was inside it dumped on the kerb. It was by a back alley garage so I'd assume it was used as a donor car for a rebuild. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do believe our old Focus was in slightly worse condition than that to be honest - and it passed 2 MOTs (just). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted September 8, 2015 Author Share Posted September 8, 2015 I've driven worse as well. It's called a Corsa :( (Sob). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ianb Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Hahah, good ol PCC... Remove it or it will be scrapped... "Yeh actually if you could save me the bother of scrapping it, that would be great.." I bet it also cost them about £500 to get it scrapped as well!

"Yeh actually if you could save me the bother of scrapping it, that would be great.." I bet it also cost them about £500 to get it scrapped as well! Wouldn't be surprised. A couple of hours with a tool box and I could probably have made £500 off it for parts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pink Panther Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Poor old Capri, been sat there at least 6 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted September 9, 2015 Author Share Posted September 9, 2015 Surprised it's still in one piece. They usually rust away to nothing much quicker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pink Panther Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 nearly as bad as the 2002 Focus' do, and any of the first generation Ka, nowhere near a 1996-2002 Merc though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goodkat Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 I fear that if that Capri moved, it would disintegrate. So I expect it will be on eBay soon as a 'barn find' and will be up for loads. The Capri is on my bucket list of cars, but it would have to be a V6 as I can't be dealing with awful 0-60 times.

Pink Panther Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 I was chatting to a guy nearby to it, apparently people have offered silly amounts for it, but the owner refuses to sell, they should be locked up, would need a lot of love to bring it back 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dales Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Mike Brewer will be along any minute to save the old Cortina. Ed will do his magic on it. Its a shame people just don't sell them on. Most probably know they will never put them back on the road. Then they get in that state. My mates Capri is just about finished. just back from the paint shop last week. just getting built back up. My other mate is buying an old mk2 Cortina tonight. Cortina is going to need more or less total rebuild. But its a project over the winter. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pink Panther Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Well there is a mk1 fiesta near me, small so not much space needed, reckon £500 would buy it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
