Anyone else remember the Mk2 Cortina on the Great West Road nr Hammersmith , in someones front garden (just) the back end used to overhang the pavement slightly , it was there for 20-30 years getting rustier and rustier and eventually bits started to fall off it , I think the owner must have been forced to do something about it in the end. Every time I see this film it jog's my memory as it was the same colour , also how unusual to see a car like this in an American film

No Sorn is only if you taxed your car after 2000ish I believe if it has not been taxed before the date sorn came in, it does not have to be sorned as not on there system.
If that makes sense.

So it's taxed and was at least recently MoT'ed? Date of Liability 01 03 2011
Not sure if this one fits the bill, but it certainly is pretty comprehensively knackered!
Belongs to a chap (possibly a ph'er? You on here John?) in Dewsbury who saves old Scimitars from the great scrappers in the sky. Quite admirable really, lucky he has a VERY patient wife. IIRC he has three Coupes, three GTE's and a couple of GTC's,

looking at the interior and water stains on the seats and carpet ...could well be flood damage insurance write off ?
There ought to be a helpline or support group for people like me, it is an illness of some sort.

Haven't got a photo of it, but there's a Lancia Montecarlo in Parrs Wood, South Manchester, that's been sitting on someone's drive in the rain and snow, on flat tyres, for about two years not. I bet the rust bugs have their napkins tucked in and their knives and forks out by now, but it looks save-able. Wonder how much longer the owner's going to keep it sitting there blocking the drive for though - his daily-driver E-class Merc is parked on the street outside on a pretty busy road, would've thought he'd want to do something with it.

I saw one of those in a tumbledown mews garage in the west end of Glasgow about 12 years ago; I was buying 2CV spares.crankedup said:
Reminds me of a TVR Vixen that had been left in the front garden of a house at Burnham On Crouch. No pictures unfortunately but it looked in a fairly advanced stage of decay but savable. Knocked at the front door and an elderly fellow advised that it was his Sons car and no way would the Son be selling, adding the bloody things a nuisance stuck there! Probably still roting away 15 years later, waste.
That never makes sense to me; the owner has effectively abandoned it on his parents' property, and it's value is far outweighed by even a nominal accumulated storage fee. Plus possession is 9-10ths and all that? Probably worth waving readies under his nose; he might bite.Balmoral Green said:
Not too sure it's been left to die/rot, but spotted this in a car park in the City last week, it didn't look like it had moved in a long time.
This, or something similar must be mine! Especially in sheddy condition like that.Gassing Station | Classic Cars and Yesterday's Heroes | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
