drivers window down, if thats like that always then its bad inside, but maybe they opened it to breathe?

btw even if it can not ne saved, which I guess it can be saved, then lots of parts on it to sell, the hardtop alone can go for good money.
Possibly left open deliberately but inside was just as ramshackle as the exterior unfortunately - still savable if you have the money and inclination though.

As Mustangs go that’s quite rare - a ‘69 / ‘70 in more or less standard trim wink

Horace Batchelor.

It had to be said.

This may not pass the Classic test but I didn't know where else to post it.

Passes the classic memory test though. When I was about 13 or 14 I played for a not very successful football team. Me and a few mates were walking past the managers house when he crawled out from underneath the Daf and said "yep - definitely a 44 litre"
Quite a few of us fitted in it for away games.

I do quite a bit of cycling in Fife and I pass this 5.2 V10 S8 quite regularly, it looks like it hasn't turned a wheel for a long time! Further along the road from this is an array of cars which again haven't moved for quite some time, which include; an asbo orange Focus ST, Renault Espace, BMW X5 and various others.

In my opinion, none of the cars you mention are classics … including that Audi.

gmackay2's just ahead of his time.

Audi A8 - An Octane "one to watch" for the aluminium body setting it apart from its peers.
Focus ST - Fast and fastish Fords gain a cult following eventually.
Espace - A Mk1 is definitely a classic as they were the first people carrier in Europe. Doesn't mean they're valuable.
BMW X5 - Ghastly thugs' cars, but there are a lot of ghastly thugs out there who like them.

Classic is a nebulous term but the cars spotted were either innovative, popular or the best in their class when on sale.

hehe that probably came across wrong …

They shouldn’t be in this thread really … is there a ‘They’re not quite classics yet but will be’ thread …
