i know of lotus cortina mk1 thats been off the road since 71 a couple of lotus cortina mk2s sat next to each other in a shed full of cars and i know of an escort twin cam thats sitting in a garden with the engine and box lying beside it and it has a very very quick all steel burton 2.0 ohc engine fitted.it runs but will never move unless dragged by a tractor.none of the owners will sell.same old story "i`ll get round to doing it up one day" i also knew of a lotus cortina mk1 that sat for years outside.it was that bad grass was growing in the car where the floor had collapsed and the wooden wheel had splintered.loads of people pestered him to sell but he would get angry and abusive.the last i heard he was being evicted and a local classic car restorer came along with a big agle grinder and cut it up on the spot and took what little goodies were left(and the log book of course) and gave him £500 for it.serves the old tosser right.

Know where there is plenty sitting rotting away . Some people think they will live forever :winka:

BJ - the low mileage Gp1 Beige car was offered to me by the owner several years ago. At the time he was looking for strong money, would probably be cheap by today's money
Let me know if the 'other' classics you found become available i.e. TR3 etc...

[FoMoCo]

Went passed JSD today shes not getting any better, shame.


cheeRS Gary...

Annoying to think the owners would rather see them rot than sell them. Would be so bad if the owners at least used them.

Needing work
Within a mile or two I know of 1 yellow broadstripe which has been outside (but under a cover/tarpaulin) a guy's house for best part of 25 years, a signal orange/ brown bvr Mexico outside another house but that ones been exposed to the elements for 10 years or so

Minters
A 36000 mile ex Mike Youngs Rs2000 Custom Red with Brown interior, full set of CN36s etc, could enter Autoglm concours tomorrow, hasnt seen light of day for about 12 years. Shares garage space with two other equally desirable Fords.
