My new banger

[willibum]

Hi,
Thought I would post some pics of my new banger.
really good condition, a bit of laquer peeling on the roof, but no dents, rust, full service history including recent top end rebuild, cambelt, tyres, brakes and exhaust and mint interior.
Everything works, I'm chuffed to bits, love these cars.
Not turbo, but pulls really well and still a looker.
Hope you approve!!

We've just had a yellow one of these come in to us on the scrappage scheme....such a shame to send it off to be crushed!

Would be a tough job, she was an 85 year old lady!!

2.0l 16v Manual; it's got a horrible mis-fire but other than that it's quite a nice car.

I live near a breakers and every day there must be up to 10 transporters pass near my house full of cars ready to be scrapped. It seems such a waste, not everyone can afford to buy a new car and anyway the ones I've seen certainly don't look like they are ready to die.
Has the UK economy benefited through it or just the government and the foreign car companies, surely most people who have taken advantage of the scrappage scheme will be buying another car on finance that is just putting more people in debt?
Anyway I think my coupe is still stylish and better than a eurobox anyday!!

It's a real shame it'll be scrapped. Is there anyway of getting a car ready for scrap out of this?

You're not wrong!

^ yes that's a crying shame.

I wouldn't mind swapping the nsf door and wing with mine though. And the bonnets are very scarce!

Always really liked these cars. Such a nice design, and the painted metal on the dash works so well.

Yeah I agree, I've always toyed with the idea of getting one of these. The dash is just brilliant
