Not easy trying to get a photo and avoid driving into the side of the transporter , even had to stop in a layby to let it pass me again :mrgreen:
 
Wonder if it's an insurance company writing it off ? If so , probably easily repairable
I'd have followed it to get my hands on those wheels
 
If i hadn't been on my way to see Cars 2 at the movies with my son i would have tried to pull allong side at the traffic lights and ask where it was of too! Not sure but the merc. in front of it on lorry was missing front corner but most cars looked ok. It hasn't been taxed since 1997 so most likely a scrappy, shame as it looked not to bad , no sign of any rust on outside any way!.
 
Ring up the transport firm and ask them where the delivery was bound? Far too nice to scrap! and with sundym glass too.

Me too! Been after a set of Wolfrace slot mags or 'similar' for ages. Went to look at some 5 stud superslots I knew were for sale yesterday. Unfortunately they were off a Jensen Interceptor and far too big :(

That's such a shame. One of my Dads old P6's was KUT 729P, so close to this one. It too went to the great scrapyard in the sky many years ago, when I saw this photo I almost thought the car had somehow been saved?? :(

He starts off well with the key phrase 'my beloved'...

Criteria for successful eBay advert:

1) Photo of the car still on the trailer from where it's been dragged from with description somewhere along the lines of 'Here's my beloved Rover P6 which I've owned for 15 minutes and I had plans to restore to concours but a change in circumstances (my wife has found out) means that I sadly have to sell..'

Listing probably needs to be in capital letters and a big nasty font with the additional 'you are bidding to buy not kick the tyres' disclaimer etc.

Or a photo of of a car in a yard with:

1) Chain still attached to the front from where it's been towed out of hiding
2) Important: A heavily jewellery clad young gent standing by the car pointing at the rear wheel.
3) Obvious large amounts of water around the car from where a bucket of water has just been thrown over it.
4) For maximum effect a lorry with a Hiab and a large dog in the background, preferably with several other dead looking cars.
 
You described how my last workshop yard ended up Nick :LOL:

It was nasty for customers to come to and I could never photo a finished car without some awful backdrop with the glint from a chunky gold identity bracelet :roll: :(

I moved :D

Wonder how it got on the transporter without coming out of storage :?
 
My favourite is 'Genuine reason for sale.'

Genuine reasons include "I prefer the money this object is worth to this object." and "I don't want this so I bought a new one." and "My dog died so I'm selling his car."

Any other favourites??? ;)
 
..as opposed to the real reason... "It's costing me a fortune to run so I'm getting rid before the big bills turn up" :LOL:
 
I particularly like the scrap yard index numbers on the nsf wing and the fork lift truck scars to the os sills. But it is tested until Ost 2012 so it must be in good order...





John.
 
"KEY" under the scrapyard index number is reassuring anyway.
I guess that's where the tyres he had to change came from too. Or am I just been too cynical?
 
No problem with scrapyard cars as long as there's nothing wrong with it. A mate of mine used to get tipped off by his scrapyard when anything worth saving came in, I think I even ended up with one of the cars once. As long as they haven't been registered scrapped your ok.

Why doesn't the advert just say - "this came into our yard and it's too good to scrap, so I've tested it and it's here for somebody to finish restoring"

You should have gone chasing after the transporter at high speed. Driving alongside on the wrong side of the road yelling and waving at the truck driver to pull over, while oncoming traffic is hurtling towards you, swerving to avoid old ladies crossing the road etc. Your boy would have enjoyed that much more than Cars 2 :D .
 
I love reading the questions on auctions like this.. The ones where the person asks "What is the least amount you will take for this?"

Do they really expect an answer?
