I could see a K11 Micra, but it looks too big compared to the Golf & 3 series above / below it to my mind?. It looks like it had plastic arches like a Mk3 Golf GTI etc at some point too so I'm flummoxed.

Some bright spark will correctly name it & we'll all be "ah so it is" now you say it lol !!

Door shape and lower "flutes" - Transit Connect?

Ah that would make sense & they have the wheel arch trims too!

What a sad sight.

A good Elise is worth decent money these days, just a shame those ones don't look too good!

The MOT one expired in 2015.

Saw this little lovely MK1 today when I was getting my truck inspected.
It's been sat for 2 years but does actually run.

Not much will rot. Roof. The rest is plastic and Aluminium.

Few quids worth there.

Very rare 3 piece spoiler too. Nice.

A Zender spoiler. I had one on a Mk1 GTI, helps to increase the low pressure area at the back of the car, and ensure that the tailgate and rear window becomes filthy as quickly as possible.

Looked good, though.

Reg is B713 TEX SORN d currently no idea on a price!



Yes, the Jeep is left open to the elements. No MoT on the Surburban since November 2014 …

MoT ran out nearly two years ago.



MoT ran out six years ago …

Shame.

In a sleepy local village I was in the other day, I suddenly remembered it as a place I’d seen a row of cars in an outbuilding. I can’t even remember whether I posted a picture previously so I thought I’d best try and get one. You’d need to know these were there really as you have to be about 7ft tall to even see them from the pavement - but an arm in the air did the trick. Very dark pic though as the day in question wasn’t the brightest. Probably the largest collection of old Simcas in these here parts … the K reg one on the extreme right is SORN’d but has no MoT record online.

It’s 3/4 years since I was last here and had the time to get a shot so methinks nothing is/will happen/ happening with them …

I see they taken the precaution of guarding them from theft

I remember seeing a fair few scudding round when I was a kid. Always made a pleasant change from a Mini, Imp or Beetle. In my youthful head they were air-cooled, probably because of the rear-engined connection to Beetles, but they weren't.

They seem popular on historic hill climbs and rallies abroad, maybe saving them for being the next mk2 Escort?
