Favourite Roadkill junkyard rescue so far... Honestly though, how they get away with driving some of that stuff on the road goodness only knows!

Just like a couple of episodes of Fantomworks and Counting Cars I saw this week; hurtling old yank tanks about in the street to test the handling and brakes and not wearing any seatbelts - it looked like all health and safety/PC/highway code had gone out of the window!

It had the remains of a Scottish borders council sticker on the back door.

Are they even real photos? The hazy appearance looks like a very good painting or drawing to me...

Oh yeah, thanks for the info. Why on earth wouldn't the vendor at least chuck a bucket of car wash and sponge over it to remove the worst of the grot prior to trying to sell such a great car? You could understand it if it was the usual rusty nail, but with apparently sound aluminium bodywork, it doesn't really make sense! The tyres also appear to be in remarkably sound condition despite having allegedly sat in a dusty Japanese garage for years on end, which seems a bit odd...

You don't want to wash it, that'll spoil the look, as it is the new owner can put it into their garage and have instant barn find in the comfort of their own garage. Besides, it's taken forty years to look that cool! As for the tyres, I pulled a mk1 Cortina out of a garage a few years back, it had been in their since 1984! All the tyres were ok, and they all had some air in them... Wouldn't want to drive on them though!

Funny looking Land Rover, appears to have earlier wings and random headlamps? Yellow and rust Mercedes is missing at least one entire sill, does have an interior but very grim with it being like a swamp. Grey and rust Mercedes definitely dragged out of where it was by a chain behind the front axle, missing most of the lower six inches. Volvo 140, surprisingly solid! Both front wings, grill, lights, engine, gearbox, rear axle, interior(except dash), fuel tank, boot lid and most of the glass has all gone though. Only really appeared to be bad around the rear wheel wells and the spare wheel area, and even then, pin holes compared to the Mercedes'.

Is that a very early Volvo 240 above?
