Only 2 posh xr3i's, the cost of repair would be stupid compared to the values (IMHO)

You need to get your head around maths first before things like that! In 96 that RSi will have been 13!

You cant just claim them. you can apply for the logbook. but doesnt mean you own the vehicle. You have to have made every effort to track down the owner etc.. been trying to do the same with a mk2 escort van i have found. The last thing you would wanna do if fix it all up, then the owner to come and claim it back

What a great find

16i certainly looks like its the better of the two and possibly worth saving.


You gonna find out who owns them then or whats the plans ???

Thats it then,lift the buggers !!
They have quite clearly been sat there (or somewhere outside) for a long time,I would do a bit of investigation work to see if you can take ownership.Even if they have to broken there is still a few quid in it.Nice if someone did a resto on one of them though.I love it when people come across thing like this.Good man for posting
