Came across this at my local scrap/ salvage yard and thought it may be of interest to someone on here.

Ooo poor car.

BLUE seats as well.

Look at that coolant colour, looks pretty neglected but if got cheap enough a nice little project..

Sir Tigger KC · « **Reply #3 on:** 23 March 2015, 17:48:18 »

My first thought was "Oooo that could be worth a punt" and then I saw the seats.

Cube it!

Kevin Wood · « **Reply #4 on:** 23 March 2015, 17:51:51 »

What on earth happened to that tyre!

Looks like it might have shed its' tread and caused an interface with the armco. Plenty of irmscher bits for those so inclined.

But.. those seats. Dear, oh dear!

chrisgixer · « **Reply #5 on:** 23 March 2015, 17:56:27 »

I reckon it's blown the oil cooler, owner got the ump, spun it into a burn out in rage then scrapped it. ...maybe.

Gaffers · « **Reply #6 on:** 23 March 2015, 17:58:18 »

A new interior, a bit of TLC on the engine and a replacement skirt and tidy up.......hmmmmm

The kind of person who fits those seats by free will is hardly going to be of sound mind, after all.

Yes, it's an Estate without a rusty boot lid, which is novel.

That was on ebay for ages last year down Cornwall way iirc for far too much money for the interior... certainly has potential though

That looks 1 sad car.

..and why have the wipers been removed

and the seats left

I remember that car from somewhere. Posted as an eBay ad on here maybe. Certainly those seats stick in the memory. I mean there's blue and there's BLUE! Ffs

I bid on this car last year as it was in Fareham Hants, it wet for just over £1000 in the end but I think he was pushing it up himself with another account. Went on E bay about 3 times before he got £1000 or just over. I wanted all the Irmscher parts at the time

tigers_gonads · « **Reply #22 on:** 23 March 2015, 19:54:10 »

That car, or more accurately those seats was defiantly on eBay about 2 years ago.
Remember them from when I was searching for my old pfl estate replacement.

ted_one · « **Reply #23 on:** 23 March 2015, 19:57:57 »

The colour of the car and the colour of the seats doesn't compute unless.....the previous owner was colour blind

EMD · « **Reply #24 on:** 23 March 2015, 20:11:50 »

Get some boot polish on them seats it will be fine

If it has an MOT I could drive it legally with Trade Plates to cover the VED.

Not far with a blown oil cooler, if that is what's wrong. But I shall keep that in mind

Aye, I recall that ad. There was chat about it on here iirc. Various members contacted the owner before deciding that there was something wrong with the car.

humbucker · « **Reply #30 on:** 24 March 2015, 17:56:27 »

It definitely looks as though it has been in a prang. Side skirt missing, rear part of bumper buggered, wheel/tyre completely destroyed...

It went for £920 on the 9th June 2014 on the bay, after it was relisted when I told him it was not an Elite so he put it back up as a CDX. $:-\$

Wish I had time to pop down and look it over before it goes. Front bumper looks like it has damage to the N/S $:-\$
