Both work well....Just found one of my old kit cars is still on the road 20 years after I sold it....

Looks like it's just come from the filming of an early episode of The Sweeney.

I don't know, the rusty tractor to the left looks a bit classic left to die!

My dad had a Marina - JYF780K - often wonder what happened to it......

The vehicle details for JYF 780K are

Date of Liability 01 10 1990
Date of First Registration 01 03 1972
Year of Manufacture Not Available
Cylinder Capacity (cc) 1798cc
CO2 Emissions Not Available
Fuel Type PETROL
Export Marker N
Vehicle Status Unlicensed
Vehicle Colour WHITE
Vehicle Type Approval Not Available

Lasted almost 20yrs!

Thanks for that! We had it from about 1982-1988, we sold it when my father passed away as my mother could not drive at the time. Aside from the fact it was a Marina it was perfectly alright when we sold it on, I guess the subsequent owner could not live with the shame of ownership!

Always see these two on the North Circ near Wembley. Think they've not moved in years. A two door XR4i and a Pegeot GTi? Took this morning on my way to a job.

If that's a 505, not seen one in years!

You need to let some air out of the tyres of that Range Rover Cliff, you've put too much in ...

[iva cosworth]

Those 2 have been mentioned before here as there was also 2 older cars behind the XR

which have now gone [obv].

I have passed those many times but not able to take a pic as traffic never "bad" enough to

tailback from the lights

1993 Audi S2 in Arundel, less than 200 left on the UK roads,



Taxed locally in Arundel.


Cloth interior looks dusty, but otherwise pretty good.


Brake discs are now corroding.




Been in the same spot for over six months now...

Same owner as the Audi in front?

I'm sure the owner will be delighted that his / her taxed car has been posted on a forum saying that it has been there for 6 months and not been moved.

3.5 months to do something with the Audi or DVLA van will have it away

I would've expected more leaves under it/by the kerb if it really hadn't moved in 6 months

[Isimmo]

Its our quattro, and sadly the local traders have been sniffing around it since August.. They've spotted its predicament.

Its not moved in a long while, the brakes are very corroded and probably seized, the tyres are flat, although they may not be the road wheels its sat on, as they really are in a shocking state. Rest of the car looks pretty solid to be fair, very standard and in need of an enthusiast.

No idea who it belongs to...

He didn't say Quattro, he said quattro. One being a type of AWD system (the former) and the latter being a model of Audi. He owns the grey quattro seen parked in front of the S2.

Silly me...

I wouldn't. I know that road, it's like a wind tunnel so nothing will build up under the car.

IIRC that AB Autos are about 200yrds down the road on the other side to the Audi, so no surprise they've spotted it.

We came across this beauty in car park in Verona in September.

[GTRene]

could almost be a painting.
nice.

Looks like an Italian market tax-break two litre 208 GTB with the NACA duct just ahead of the rear wheel. The 1980 - 1981 cars had only 155bhp. The 1982-on cars were turbocharged and had a much-more-like-it 220bhp. It's probably one of those.
