The owner has said that the monte escort, 3 door and saff with decals is not for sale but everything else can be sold, even in bits as some of them are missing various parts. Most of them are actually driveable but i guess i wouldn't droven them all the way back to UK.

Yea but how/why did he end up with so many cossies just sitting there wasting away like that?! fair enough he'd have a few but thats a fair few moneys worth of car to have just sitting there!!

Dont think even any of the cossie breakers would have that many sitting there doing nothing

He imports/imported most of the cars from italy etc. and is trying to sell them on, but I would think they are overpriced and therefore not going anywhere. In sweden, if a car is over 3 years old(or was it 5) it only cost 5000SEK(under Ł600) to registrate them on swedish plates, so could be good buisness if you can get them sold.

A couple of guys off fmcn.no was going down to take a look, but don't know if they got to it due to bad weather.

I would at LEAST put a cover over the cars, and never ever ever put them on a plain grass field waiting to rust.
