My dad is considering selling his peugeot 405 1.9l turbo diesel from 1991. It's not worth much as scrap, but it means alot to me.

it wasnt technically worth more scraped...but i did fit 3 engines and 3 transfer boxes into a calibra turbo i had about 8years ago! looking back on it now, that was a strange way of spending all my money all the time.

I have a Peugeot 106 diesel sat outside my house with the last of it's two months MoT dwindling away. It has 165k miles on it yet still runs brilliantly. If I cash in the 9 months tax and weigh it in I could get £200 for it, but I just can't bring myself to scrap a perfectly serviceable machine, especially one that's been so good to me. So far my meagre efforts to get £200 for it as a runner have proved fruitless. When the MoT is up I doubt I'll have much choice, but I don't think that'll quench the guilt.
