Stuck on the M6 in traffic today, saw this Samba convertible on the back of a truck. Seemed almost every panel was damaged or rusted in some way so beyond economical restoration. I know these aren't everyone's cup of tea but still a shame to see it potentially on it's final journey.    |

That's a shame. Great little cars but were (along with most PSA stuff from the early 80's) made out of a combination of secondhand steel dredged up from the Baltic, and Alka-Seltzer.  Those three-stud alloys would look the nuts on a 106. |

Loving the one strap round one wheel as well. As an Ex recovery truck driver this really gets my goat.
Nice and secure in the event of an accident!

Actually there is nothing to say it isn't on the way to a new owner or garage to be restored as it's on a recovery truck and not scrap collectors.

Yes Jersey plates.
Maybe it is going to a new owner, that's why I said potentially it's last journey.
No idea what these are worth these days, maybe they've gone up in value since I last looked.

That is indeed a Jersey number plate... We have a scrapyard over here, so I'd reckon that's on the way to get some work done... |
