1985 SWB soft top project anyone??
Just seen a C reg red SWB soft top on its way to J Davidson Scrap Dealers (I assume so as it was on the back of a truck reg JD) in Altrincham Manchester.
Looking very sad for itself - flat tyres, rear lenses already taken etc, but was a stock softtop running on steel wheels with no arch extenders - guess someone finally got fed up with it sat in a barn/field.
Reg might have started C866 - but I was on a bike so limited time to catch it and no time to grab a pic. known the seepd J Davidson goes at it willl be a lump of metal in a day or so!!

Hi
One issue might be is I assume this was sent to Davidsons's for 'correct' disposal in accordance with dept of transport rules. Not sure where this leaves them ref selling it. Sure it's possible but I assume affects what you need to do to get it back on the road etc

Who's bought this then?
Rang to try today only to hear it is sold (for good money too)
Guy was rather irrate that he had so many phone calls from GWOA members wanting to buy it and was non too happy that it had been posted on here!!!!
Some people dont want to do business it seems!!! Thought we had a recession on?
Anyway, too late this time and i hope it makes somebody a good project
Hi Gav
Not me Gov as the saying goes.. As you say strange he got irrate, perhaps he had a seller lined up and did not want the original owner getting wind of any interest in the vehical. Or perhaps he was having a bad day!
As you say you would have thought he would welcome the interest, or he did, right up to the point he sold it :-)

Hi Peter
Take it you have talked to Davidsons's ? I am surprised it has not been loaded into a crusher by now! Mind you there are a few of the older ones knocking about round here (mixed in with the footballers AMG versions) so perhaps they know what they have got their hands on.
It was a sad sight I must say
