1982 Capri pulled from lake

Can see a bit of rust around the sills...

seriously though - i saw a capri on someones drive in maidstone recently, and it was f*****d.
it looked like it had been laying there for decades and rot had truly set in (panels all lopsided, etc)

The funny thing is, colour aside the 'lady of the lake' here looks like its in better condition!!!

Dirty water = lack of oxygen, presumably.

Won't it technically belong to an insurance company rather than the previous owner assuming it was paid out?

I know the one you mean and the one from the lake is definitely in better condition
