Still There

[Bazile]

Went past this car again - would you beleive that it has been parked there for the last 40 + years in that condition ?

The garage is in a right state as well. I bet it's a scratch & sniff house!

It's a Vauxhall Wayvern / Cresta, I had one may years ago, you had to be careful when entering the car as you could bang you knee on the inner door pillar, these cars were also prone to rust under the N/S Rear passenger seat.

[ummmm]

The house is nice though.

There is a house just up the road from me that has at least 13 cars in that state and to my certain knowledge they have been there since 1976 when I first moved here. The council say they can do nothing as they have been there since before the SORN law came in.

It just needs a bit of air in the tyres.

Vauxhall Cresta - series 1 of that style which had a three pane rear window.

I've taxed worse looking cars. The '79 Viva that cost £50 immediately springs to mind. No two panels were the same colour and cruising round town with four 17 year old lads in it, REM and cannabis smoke pouring out of the windows we wondered why the old bill were always giving us a tug.

It was there in 2008
