Default Festering in a car park near me...

Does anyone recognise this car. It's a W reg Cowley built Connoisseur CDT in Steel Blue and sitting in a car park near me growing an ecosystem.

I'd really like to try and save it before it gets towed away (on SORN and no MOT)



I have left a note with my mobile number on the car.

First thing I did when I got home Ronnie, check the MOT history. As you say, it's a bit, er, chequered to say the least.

I even popped in at the local garage as they pretty much do every car in the village and they knew nothing about it either.

I was taking to Anna last night about the car - and we think it was a car that was for sale earlier in the year near kirkintilloch for £400-500.. If it is the same the car - it had a few minor issues inc a damaged leather interior? but was worth buying though.. The guy selling it then was a bit of a di*k though....

Watch your language, Kevin.

Maybe the car was up for sale on the forum and got removed for breaking rules...Oh wait, that was me...
