Probably, although my old 2500S wagon looked better than that, but the twisted chassis meant that was all it was good for.

That is a shame, there's even another 2000 in the second picture I think, the saloon with the saltire on the roof. It's a shame when you think how many of them died like that, but I dare say most of them were beyond saving anyway, as Rmad says those ones could well be beyond saving too even though they look presentable, you don't know how much filler and decay's living under those tidy panels. When it's like that it's better that they die in a blaze of glory than lie in someone's garden getting the neighbours backs up and giving classics everywhere a bad name, it's just a shame when nobody spots the saveable ones before the banger lads do.

When it's like that it's better that they die in a blaze of glory than lie in someone's garden getting the neighbours backs up and giving classics everywhere a bad name, I disagree! (as everyone no doubt already knows). 99 out of 100 old cars lying in someones garden are there cos the owner thinks its worthy of more than scrapping/bangering, at least while its sat there, there is a chance that a like-minded enthusiast will decide he can do something constructive with it.

My 2000 Mk1 sat in a garage in a breakers yard for 22 years because the yard owner reckoned it was too good to break, the autobox had packed up at 50,000 miles, the engined seized solid but i got a rotten runner and swapped the bits over. When I told the guy I was going to put it back on the road he gave me the car for free!!
