Tricky Posted May 7, 2018 Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 Spotted this sad old lady on a walk last weekend. I think it’s beyond restoration but there are some interesting spares, some of which would do my GT6 Resto ! I’ll need to do some asking around to see who owns it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NonMember Posted May 7, 2018 Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 Hmm... without knowing the condition of the chassis I'd hesitate to completely condemn that... but it would be a big labour of love Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dougbgt6 Posted May 7, 2018 Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 The Chrome work looks in remarkably good condition, original colour yellow? Or is that undercoat? Is that RS on the number plate? If so first registered in Reading, a long way from home? db Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrome not too bad I think the number plate (which I blurred for privacy) was actually Aberdeenshire if I remember correctly, as it ends with the RS. It’s an F plate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougbgt6 Posted May 7, 2018 Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 Yes, Aberdeen! I was looking on the wrong site. Being in possession of the full registration,have you looked it up on the DVLA vehicle enquiry site? Be interesting to find out when it was last taxed and get idea how long it's been in the field. db Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Lindsay Posted June 27, 2018 Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 That is sad, when you think of how much we love our cars and the work that goes into them, to see one like this. You feel that they all should be saved. I daren't walk past a Cat Sanctuary these days either.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
