You will have to collect in a suitable vehicle - possibly a 4 wheel drive(or similar)/suitable trailer etc
I'd suggest a hoover might be the best way of transporting that.

Potentially stupid question - How WOULD you go about moving that? Clearly isn't going to roll onto the trailer, but surely it will just crumble when you try do anything.

Who was after some panels for one of these, just the other day, they might be interested...


It does remind me of my Cloverleaf Sprint, much of that was in a similar condition.

I think the fence panels are in better shape and worth more...

Hasn't been moved in 35 years, so its been sat there since 1981! registered in 1978.

So it only worked for 3 years before the owner gave up and dumped it!!

He wants to be paid for removing junk?

Now that's what I call optimism.

Under the tarpaulin is another one that he thinks is going to make him a small fortune.

I'm all for Betas, owned 3 of them but truthfully they were just disposable. With the exception of the works rally examples.

Window glass as well,

I think the seller just wants someone to come and remove it, what kind of person has rusted out cars in their garden for thirty years ?

It's obviously a scrap business that's selling it as they have other rust piles for sale. Scrappers do love to price optimistically. If only they kept just a little bit of that optimism for when they are buying.

Includes V5?

Could a dodgy garage not it, transfer plate then immediately scrap? To sell the plate Doubt there's a market for steal/swap plates over on this model
