Still there, they can’t do anything with it as it’s still part of an investigation.

Fair enough, i thought they'd moved it elsewhere.
Edit, the main part has gone to Scotland. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-22290443 Last edited by topman; 16th August 2018 at 22:11.. |

It is inevitable that one day your pride and joy, will end up somewhere like this.
In the case of my ZT, in about 140 days....... tick tock, tick tock I can't wait At some point or other, the time comes when you fall out of love with a car, you either sell it to someone with more enthusiasm or time, or you call it a day. "I'll never let my car end up that way" you may not, but any subsequent owner may not feel the same way, and unfortunately nothing you have any control over. I always thought it would be the electronic components that would kill off these cars, but it will be the eventual lack of good quality "bread and butter" components that do this job. Enjoy them now, while you can, because in five years time they are going to be few and far between Brian |

I would say if you have a good condition hi spec car with all the toys as standard hang on to it. I don't subscribe to the 'poverty' spec ones will be the ones to keep theory. The only reason 1.1L MK2 Escorts (as one example) make ridiculous money now surely is because the better ones make even more ridiculous money
