following on from the abandoned car thread..

[bazil]

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.

[octagonalpaul]

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

[bazil]

It's proper rat look, the type you can't make or buy lol

[dj_wudgey]

i hope it gets put to its former glory!!

[Angus Closier]

[benw456]

[novacabrio]

Snow foam FTW lol!! Some very rare Irmscher bits on there

[amggsi]

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!

[Southie]

I'd love a calibre especially like this.http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4083/5175327118_ce1c6c2d18_b.jpg

[novacabrio]

The appeal of that Sprint to me is that its in white which is very rare

[dj_wudgey]

[dj_wudgey]
