this could get quite sad quite quick....  no prizes for why this one bought it  But it was a 17,000 mile from new one owner car...   This one was a real shame. A mint car needing minor "this and that" which though neglect became more work to restore than was viable for me, I sold it to a mate to restore and he scrapped the shell after stripping it.  Not mine, but a mates, and we did some miles together in it until it was written off by an uninsured driver.  this one is apparently being restored by its current owner but I don't hold out that much hope  gone. Street scrapped it.    ^^^ again, it was a mates not mine but I did a lot of miles in her. Written off by an idiot in a Xantia.   Both these Cortinas are since scrapped by subequent owners. Think the Mini is dead now too.  Beautiful little HA, no longer on the DVLA computer   ^^^ last seen rotting in a local garden, well beyong rescue.  Not sure about the saloon, but the estate at the back is scrap. I owned both these.  Maybe I'll add some more later, depending on what I've got in photobucket (which is playing up for me right now) |

My SEH'd manta. Broken for parts after realizing what the parts on it were worth and how much effort it would take to keep on the road. Easily the best car I have owned and will own for a while:(.   Slightly ratty but you can't argue with 38mpg 140bhp and the ability to swallow a fridge  . |

I'm quite impressed that out of all the heaps I have owned, only one took a one with trip with me. £100 with 8 months T&T and the headgasket went as the MOT came up. A Bargain suprisingly bloomin nice car to drive. mm bad taste wheels/spoiler/exhaust combo.  the new owner about to put it in a pile  no sadness from me on this one  Unlike looking at AKs pics |

Abso-stuffing-lutely loads of 'em, here's just a few...  Mad as only really wanted a head gasket and was very tidy.  I think this was the one that was scrapped. I loved it too, only a 1.9 n/a diesel but had Morettes, bonnet scoop, tasty non-gen alloys and went like a flaming rocket on vege oil. Engine lives on in another BX still out there somewhere. Recently had a purge on Photobucket so managed to bin loads of pictures of others. |

My Fiat 124 sport (first car.) I sold it a couple of years ago, and it turned up on Ebay recently looking very sorry for itself. Had some good times in this thing.  |

I would guess that most of my old motors ended up in the scrapyard... here's a few I know did... FD Ventora, just need a little 'tidying'    Favorit, head gasket went, so bye bye...  It's replacement, Nissan Sunny... £120 with 12 months ticket (from D. Bluncket motors), ran it for a month or 2 until the head gasket went. (I think... didn't bother to investigate too much)   Comedy window winder 'repair' ;D  MK1 cav 2.0 auto, written off a week after I sold it...  MK5 'Tina, low mileage and 1 owner for like 18 years... I sold it, it was written off while parked outside the new owners house...   |
| |
... the only injury I sustained was a bumped head when I let the seatbelt of without realizing the car was upside down  and that's not really the car's fault. |

 This came to a sticky end on a wet roundabout due to rear camber issues as a result of lowering coupled with my inability to drive properly. |

What a depressing thread! Especially all the FD's... I have owned 16 FDs. Of which I know of only 4 still on the road. One with the 3.3, one has now a 2.9 24V Ford in it and the last was the Chevy V8 jobber I did. The forth was actually scrapped by a later owner but got rescued from the yard by a mate who has since restored it. One I sold and is supposedly being restored. The other 9 are dead and recycled. You don't want to know how many FDs we stripped for spares over the years I was into them. What is sad is a mate of mine got hold of the club records from like the mid/late 1990s and ran the registrations of all the FDs which were members cars back then. And at least 50% were long since not taxed or no longer on the computer. |
