Classics left to die/rotting pics

Where and when was the Muira pic taken ?

Looks like an early one or possibly an S ? as the SV didnt have the eyelashes. If i ever get the money an SV will be mine.

This is an absolute travesty and quite frankly a crime against all PHers!

The Miura is my favorite car of all time! I know that few agree but come on who leaves such a gorgeous car in this state?!

I wonder why someone decided to fit a rather crude set of nudge bars to the front of it.

I think it might be this one which was last known to be in Quatar the property of a member of Quatari royal family.

The faded Red one could be an SV ? the rear arches look like SV ?

bought a Yellow SV new in 72,

The latter one looks like a V8 with the twin pipes. Get knocking on the door!

If I had any spare ££ I would!

I wondered about the nudge bar too, very odd. Perhaps it was used for grass track racing!

- someone who's run out of talent &/or money would be my guess.

Probably "A Camel Fender"........

Celeb Muira Owners included Rod Stewart ( a Yellow SV recently for sale ) and Frank Sinatra.

Anyone fancy trying to save this Sadly Neglected Mitsu 3000GT from Southern France ? DVLA has it listed as Export in 05 i beleive. I saw it in August , it had a Frog parking ticket from early July, looked like it hadnt moved for a long time. Rare Manual model, i tried to find out whos it was, but my time there was very limited.

If any one is seriously interested i can give them the exact location.

This was left to rot for around 20 years before we rescued it
















This was at the farm where they used to film 'The darling buds of may'. According to the leaflet you get handed on entry to the classic car meet it belongs to the son of the woman who owns the farm and it is to be restored...

NOt wanting to re-start the old thread but in a nutshell, what did you do with it in the end?

Moved it on to someone who has the time and money to restore it

And did you give half the money from the ebay sale to the bloke who *gave* it to you?

Or did you take advantage of the good favour someone did you and keep it?
