Saw this blue Minor going green in an open barn in East Sussex this week
number plates got to be worth more than the car
Now worth £0 though.

Whilst I don't think it's been 'abandoned' it certainly has been left to rot and looks very unloved!

Illegal on the road now aren't they?

Do I remember right, you had to open the bonnet & kick start them?

I think that was how you started a 'Bond ' they had a single cylinder Viliers engine monted over the front wheel - awful things even more awful than the car (?) in question !

No, they had a starter. My aunt, who is disabled, had one. I once drove it for a laugh and it frightened the life out of me, it was dreadful. On the other hand she knew nothing different and much respect to her for driving it around Hammersmith Broadway hehe

If the Maserati is for sale, I'd be very interested.
The person you need is gent called Keith at Addspeed in Horsham. As I'm aware of they were looking to sell a while back but due to the recession there was not much up take.

Hope this helps in your quest

What a waste of a great car frown

The pictures posted in this thread really piss me off sometimes.

Oh, someone really needs to go and have a word with the owner and give that car the home it deserves. At the moment pobably no more than a decent wash and some love and use required to make it magnificent again, but it won't be that way for long unless someone steps in.

Fortunately most of it won't rot. You can probably get away with it in many ways because 99% of passers by would think someone had left an old kit car at the side of the road. If it was mine I would have my chair on the pavement so I could look at the car all day if I wasn't driving or washing it!

spacmobile!
Known as 'Flid-car' in parts of Stoke. ETA: Back in the politically incorrect '80's.

The car certainly hasn't moved for a long while and the tree above is slowly turning it green! It's a mess inside and out - such a shame!

To be fair, my picture makes the car look better than it is! My camera phone is rubbish and the car itself is in very poor condition.

Honest opinion as you have seen it in the flesh - what would you offer the owner? Or what is it really worth?

Not one I'd buy personally but its looks are very distinctive and certainly not dated at all. What was the engine and was it transaxle?

Sorry, I have no idea what SZ'z would be worth...and from a brief web search they only came with alfa's classic V6. According to wikipedia, only 1000 or so were produced which makes it even more sad to see one wasting away like this!

The running gear's the same as the 75, so a transaxle and a 3 litre V6 presumably.

Seem to be between £20 and 30k mostly, so it depends on how well it would clean up, but I would guess still £15k absolute minimum as is. They do have v6 in the front and a transaxle gearbox.

Is it taxed? If not could be worth sitting nearby waiting to know where it gets towed and making an offer!

That's a high price indeed I was expecting £5k being honest though I've never shown any interest in it specifically. Surely with this example knowing its potential vale surely an offer of what £2.5k would be a nice offer to the owner
