don't be soft... when has 'nobody wanted' a bentley turbo R?? Or 2 Bentley T Series, the Jensen Interceptor that Hotwire has already mentioned, a Maserati Quattroporte, and 9 Rolls-Royces (Clouds, Shadows & Spirits)? Also saw a Riley Pathfinder listed later in the thread - those are seriously rare now, and even if it was rough, I'm sure it would have donated much needed spare parts (only mechanical bits are available). |

Geez it makes you sick don't it? I know not many like the old Marina but why waste a decent coupe!! I bet thease guys pay some old guy who just gave up driving and wanted the car to go to a good home a small amount of cash saying that they always wanted this perticular car and that they are going to restore it.... Just look at that list |

They have a 'whats on Ebay' section, but if anyone posts owt in it, they kick off! They don't like potential banger material getting publicised in case someone 'saves' it!!! t**ts. |

I suppose a number of them couldn't have been saved, but even still it's unfortunate, shame to see so many nice cars die. Here are just a few more that are a bit of a shame. Austin Lancrabs and 3 lites - 7 Austin Allegro – 3 Austin Allegro Estate – 3 Austin FX4 Taxi – 12 Austin Maestro – 13 Austin Maestro Van - 4 Austin Maxi - 2 Citroen 2CV – 1 (since when were 2CVs sturdy dependable banger material, they have bodywork like tinfoil and they almost fall over in corners for f*ck sake! ;D I do like them though!) ;D DAF 66 - 1 Ford Capris - 310! (you what!!!??) FSO Warszawa M20 - 1 GAZ 12 Zim Limousine – 1 GAZ M20 Pobieda - 1 (these three are valuable stuff in their homelands, let alone here! And I saw pictures of the ZIM and the Pobeida, they were in good condition!) Hillman Avenger – 4 Hillman Avenger Estate - 1 Hillman Hunter – 7 Hillman Minx Series III – 4 Hillman Minx Series V - 4 Hillman Minx Series VI – 1 Hillman New Minx - 2 Hillman Super Minx - 6 Hillman Super Minx Estate – 4 (no Imps at least) Lada Riva – 46 Lada Riva Estate - 25 Lada Riva Estate Limousine – 1 Volvo 740 – 42 Volvo 740 Estate – 56 Volvo 760 – 4 Volvo 760 Estate - 3 Volvo 760 Hearse - 3 Volvo 760 Limousine – 1 Volvo 940 – 3 Volvo 960 - 1 Volvo Amazon – 4 (shame to see just how many Volvos were destroyed! Especially since I know Volvos and many of them will have been in extremely good condition.) I'm not narrow mindedly condemning all banger racers before anyone starts, I'm just commenting that it's a shame that so many old cars got into the state where either nobody could keep them on the road, or nobody would, or the odd cases where perfectly nice cars are wrecked through some love of rare stuff getting smashed up that a small minority of people apparently have. |

After reading through their website it dose seem that buying a really good classic and wrecking it is a common issue. Just the cheak of some saying not to post "Potential Bangers" that are on ebay so that the "Drivers" don't push the prices up...!  |

It is a shame to see classics used for banger racing. Thing is like ive said before we need to beat them to the cars. But then what we going to do with them.

Bentley Turbo R - Burnt out shell no good to anyone on the road!
Interceptor - raced by a mate of mine, beyond saving!
Yanks can be picked up fairly cheaply on their condition.
Jags are still fairly common so their price is staggeringly high
Grannys are thin now but can still be picked up for 50 to 100 quid
Japs are the rarest of the bunch, back in the eighties and early nineties they were the tool for Unlimited
Bangers but now they are hard to get hold of for sensible money
They'v even done mk1 and 2 escorts, and i wish them the besta luck cause having had a wallop in mine they aint that tough!
If ya wanna gripe and moan about bangers (we've been here before), then get to the cars before they do and then watch as you don't know what to do with them and they rot and waste away!
