Blimey. Nice find!

CLAIM THEM! :D

Poor cars, bet there rotten lol

Where is that?

Gutted what a waste!

Whats the story behind them then?

The rear end of that S1 looks rotten!

the rs1600i can be saved the trim is still near mint and its clean inside, it was only rotton on the front panel and rear lower panel, it still has the dunlop tyres on the back, also i think the exaust is still factory fitment

pt its up some country road lol

Thats mad them just being parked there, is it on private property ?

looks rotton its fooked pal, even the bonnet is so rusty its nearly snapped in half it still has the engine and box in it, only front recaro seats are missing and alloys the rest is there

no but i think the whole lane is private if you get what i mean

Please please somebody save them!

nice claim them, tax on the s1 ran out june 2000 and the rs1600i ran out jan 1996 lol

Jesus,who the hell just leaves cars like that lying around?although it seems to happen loads...

that's a bit strange

The rs16i looks like a nice original car :sad: did you lift the bonnet on the s1

Bet they could be saved by someone.

be a touch if you can get them!

One thing this thread shows, is why barn finds are so much better than lane finds, those would still be ok condition if in a barn probably!

FFS some peeps have way to much money than sense :wall:

Even your barn would have kept them in good condition, they might even have snow on top protecting them :cry::cry:

AFPMSL^^:cry::cry::cry:

shame that some one does not realise how much them too could be worth if they looked after them, toss bags?

more like people dont know what they've got - i bet they (the owners) just look at them and think rusty old fords

That's all they are to a lot of people mate, same as Sierras in general also - no passion or enthusiasm from some. Simply an old car they used to drive from A to B and now old and worthless in their eyes. :poke:

unreal. you having them baz?

where in the country are they?

Baz lives by me, so i assume Mid Wales somewhere

Bring up the Google Maps - see if you can spot them! :cry:

could be the owner got bannged up for a long time

Maybe if you get it you could sell the ID to the braodspeed capri reshell specialist???? :cry:

Be amazing if that 1600i has been there 13 years and still looks so good.

I'm 99% sure I recognise the rs1600i, if so used to belong to a chap in Brandon, Suffolk, who worked at OMAR HOMES, and at time had a Kamei body kit on it, he sold it two days later buyer crashed it had it repaired and sold it, as was getting done for no insurance!!
tabetha

thats disgraceful the owner should be shot :sad:

why would anyone leave the, where they are???

shame.

awesome find :top:

Thats a long way for it to go!

Someone please go and get them! is there not a farm house or anything around? I doubt they would be missed if you claimed them, but what is the law on this? Finders keepers anyone?

nice find baz ,get em on a trailer ;-)


cheers james

with them being on grass i bet the underside is totally rotten.

I never find shit like this :cry:
