I had the opposite on a Morrisons car park... For my Mini...

Some fella fell out of his Nissan Sunny and said to his wife, just loud enough for me to hear that it was an old banger..... for his wife to say that my old banger was probably worth more than the peace shit we drive about in :)

 ;D ;D ;D

I saw a W-reg (as in 2000, not 1981) Cooper over Christmas.. on that plate I assume it's one of the very last cars they produced, and very nice it looked too (complete with obnoxious exhaust, rear window louvres, wide 10" steels etc)

Last of the line, 1/3i - and still the A-panels rotted like apples...!

The A-panels are easy. The sills, floors, A-pillars, roof, windscreen scuttle, rear subframe mounts, rear subframe, and just about any metal bit of the car that doesn't get soaked in oil from the engine rot even worse. The whole structure of the car meets late '50s prototype durability standards.
And I can't see 10" wheels on a W plate car, as they don't fit over the disc brakes.
