Abandoned V6

[ColinG]

This car is literally 1 mile from my house, when I was going around in my old Black Gold V6 circa 2007 it was driven and always clean. It's been sitting dumped for basically 6 years. Engine covers are nowhere to be seen and its paintwork is wrecked, looks like something's been poured over the roof and rear 1/4 panels.

I parked up tonight and decided to sneakily get some pics...

Going to try and get some more in detail pics at the weekend.

Unbelievable!

 

[RichyMa]

So sad

It's such a waste, I wonder why it's been left like this

 

[VIICarCare]

Just Not right

 

[jesus]

At least it's only a ph1.

 

[Darius]

At least it's only a ph1.

Lol +1

 

[adamlstr]

Surely worth knocking the door and giving a cheeky bid?

 

[car.crash]

At least its not another abandoned turbo 2

 

[RichyMa]

Surely worth knocking the door and giving a cheeky bid?

Definitely do this if you can!

 

[ColinG]

IIRC not so long ago someone tried this and the guy wanted £16k lol

 

[GiT]

Yep - needs rescuing.

:lolup:

 

[ColinG]

Think it was Piers actually!

 

[Dan...]

That definitely needs rescuing!!

 

[markerboy2002]

That is a huge shame!! Even If it is a PH1 it needs restoring. If I had the money i'd do it

 

[Knuckles]

Offer them £3k and a handjob

He was behind the curtain waiting with his shotgun in hand lol

Get yourself up here mate, we will approach him together. Strength in numbers etc lol

 

[couzens]

Mental, that paint work makes me cry.

 

[Gavin.]

Such a shame to see one like that.

 

[Leeshez]

What a shame. See if you can rescue it.

 

[Chi]

Get yourself up here mate, we will approach him together. Strength in numbers etc lol

Double hand job

 

[Invexis-]

After a project like Colin?

Give one to the wife, His and hers.

 

[ColinG]

Lol great plan mate!

i can honestly see it being an uneconomical repair though, if there's no engine covers alone that can be a couple of grand, I wonder if the undertrays are present, the interior will be mouldy, re spray, wheels refurbed, new tyres, new brakes, remove engine, do cambelt and clutch, water pump and service,

Its basically sad to say but it's not worth doing unless you got the car for say £2-3k

 

[DanH7]

That's awful what a waste!

 

[ClioV6_Lancs]

First stop of the lakes meet with twenty vees outside his house

And someone with a trailer too, I wouldn't fancy trying to start that!

 

[GiT]

Look at the gaff though - I wonder if this is an ill-gotten gain and the "owner" is currently residing where windows have bars?

Or just take it to the polish for a clean, buy an old laguna v6 for the engine transplant & drive it like it was meant to be driven?

And i dont mean into a hedge backwards

 

[Chris_Beer]

Engine covers missing and sat still for 6 years.. Has to be more than just some paint, polishing and interior cleaning that's for sure! His asking price is a little silly though!

 

[MarcB]

Engine Cover = £825

 

[Alex5]

Wow quite baffling how someone could abandon such a car, must have more money than sense

Nope, the fire was on and smoke was belching out of the chimney so he's definately there.

If the owner had sense but no money they would have sold it.
If money but no sense it would of been crashed backwards through a hedge by now.

So owner has no money and less sense. IMO

 

[dmallett]

Could easily be saved that.

Still a shame.

Maybe the parents are home...

 

[ColinG]

You should see his old merc coupe that's sitting dumped in a field! It's a cool old bus!

You know what to do! Just don't get caught.

 

[ColinG]

I'll get onto it lol

 

[Bobby.]

I don't know what's more mad, his 16k price tag, the fact he's left it their for 6 years to rot, or the engine cover price.
