View Full Version : following on from the abandoned car thread..
we all know about the rotting old sport on ebay, or the black gsi found in a bush on ebay that went for £499, or the abandoned Lotus carlton in the guys garden not to mention the field full of cosworths ( still makes me cry, poor monte ) well it seem we are not alone,
cavalier lovers look away now please if you dont want upset, i found this last night while board surfing ( my term for looking at crap online all night as i couldnt sleep.

I think it has a kind of beauty to it, after sitting for so long. Would be cool if they could keep it looking like that but drop in some more power
It's proper rat look, the type you can't make or buy lol

Snow foam FTW lol!! Some very rare Irmscher bits on there
I know of 2 mark 2 Cavaliers sitting like that and the owner won't sell. Granted they are 1.6L's or similar, not Sprints/Calibres!
