To be fair they were commenting on the aftermarket Zonda-style 4 tail pipes rather than the pig's snout of the original system. Looks like it may have suffered fire damage. It wouldn't be the first Lambo to die from that!

It'll reappear as a T cut and filler special in about 18 months.

hoping to have her MOT'd by the end of the month been off the road for over 7 years now
Firstly. Did the welder do it whilst drunk and secondly what is it?

Looks like a Mondeno. Whatever it is it’d better be someone interesting because it’s not really fitting in this thread!

There is nothing to think about, it is a Spitfire.

rufusgti,
Where, when? UK reg Spitfire, but others look not to be in UK (view and vegetation)
Someone might be interested in any of those.

South African registration, EC = Eastern Cape, which is probably East London or Port Elizabeth.

It's done well not to rust in the climate of either of those cities! (very humid)

I guess it's been restored once or twice tongue out

'Did the welder do it whilst drunk'? You should know...according to your profile drink

There's no such car as a 'Mondeno' but I suspect this was just your attempt at being 'funny'.

And I'm sure you meant to say 'something', rather than 'someone'? Or maybe you were just drunk when you wrote this? loser

How does a car registered in the Eastern Cape end up dumped halfway across two spaces in a pub car park near Newport?

Do we have a thread on unusual foreign reg plates found in the UK?

i think its pretty fitting with this thread, as it was left to die and is completely rotten.

its been of the road 7 years and in anyones eyes but mine it was fit only for scrap.

but no its getting patched up and will be on the road shortly.

its a Prefacelift Omega MV6 of which there is less than 120 left, with about .a quarter of that on the road.
