Here's the story.

A good friend of mine has known about this car for over a decade, it's sat in a garage in Nottingham and never moved in that time. She made enquiries and the owner actually died abroad 20 years ago, the house was then sold but the garage was not in the deeds, as it's in a communal block of garages. So in other words the car and the garage are totally off the grid and forgotten about for 20 years. The reg number confirms this, as it's not had an MOT on the new electronic system.
Said friend had planned to let her son drag it out and rebuild it. That's never happened, so after a cash bribe and half a morning driving around trying to find it, I finally set eyes on it a couple of days ago. I was hoping it was a Mk2 CRX to raid for parts, but it's actually a 1984 MK1. It's an A-reg.

My efforts stand me at about £150 in fuel, time and bribery, so the best offer over that will get exact details of where the car is. Street name, postcode and the exact garage it is in and how to gain access. You then can claim it using DVLA form V62, which you send to the DVLA to become the legal owner and get a logbook. You can then do as you wish with the car either to break or (if you're brave) restore. You could probably stick a door on 2 of the garages and have a free lockup as well if you're that way inclined as they haven't been used in decades.
Ok, good points;

- It's a CRX
- It has an engine in of some description
- It has what looks to be the majority of the interior in and around the car

Bad points;
No keys. No wheels. It's rusting in places. Rear window is smashed. It's got crap all around it that will need removing.
It's got to be worth a fair bit in parts given how old/rare these things are. I imagine the rear lights alone are worth more than I'm asking.
