jackpot, bet theres a bit of money in those old motors...even covered in a million years of dust.Anyone spy a cossie
I read something similar a while ago about a bloke bricking in his xj220 in a factory or something, think there was something dodgy about it, cant remeber the whole story, think he was getting done for tax evasion or something and decided to hide a few collectables so the baliffs couldnt take them.

Slightly harsh perhaps, but it was the 3rd topic in a row that i read with the same damn comment on and im sick of members being criticised for actively posting on teh forum. leave them to it, posting is to be encouraged... If youve seen it before, move on, its GUARANTEED that the major percentage of teh other 27000 members havent.
Next people will be moaning they saw it on another site or fooking TV or soemthing.
Anyway... rant over, its been a truly shit year so far, so ive got to moan at someone.

DVLA would have a feel day with the fines lolIf they are in this country and registered they need to be sorn'ed or taxed no?
The fact that the tax disc would be free is irrelevant!

i was gonna say they were probably left before world war 2 so the nazi's wouldnt take them but the age of the cars dont fit.
id love to find out the story behind them.
anyhow imagine how much you could make from that. unbeleivable
i had the same sort of thing in the beginning of last year mate. 2 mates died both 18 and the car got done over at ace cafe. hope things get better for you mate.
