I like the way the drivers seat has defied all attempts, by mother nature, to make it look out of position!

A few hours work with a polishing cloth should have that paintwork gleaming & nice to see another one able to be restored .

I'm surprised people have not mentioned the SD1 and MGB behind, the separate minor front end could be turned into a cool BBQ if you had a bonnet (£40 on ebay).

Now you mention it, I agree, you can see the bumper overriders.
I'm still looking for a Black Trav or Tourer for just under £3000 if you hear of one.

This needs saving from the yard and putting somewhere a minor fan will appreciate it, how about something like this.[frame]Image[/frame]

Issi ,
If you are serious and willing to accept a car in similar condition to the two who's pictures you have posted , I can probably help , for at least 50 Pounds less than your guide price !!
Good luck with your search .

Wonder why someone would have gone to all the effort of doing that, only to just leave it there. :-?

I wonder if it went through the scrappage scheme and was chopped to prevent it being unscrapped. What with recycling being so bad for the economy and all.

Hello Paul. good morning!
Could you please confirm this scrap is still there? As I live in London I need to go out the city to find something like this.
Please don,t ask yet what I intend to do with it but I am looking for the upper metalwork of a saloon. Major project. It would help as well if you could get the contact of the scrap owner.
Thanks a million and God bless for your post ok?
Regards!
