Try this link if your on the I phone,otherwise you can't get into the main site,it just keeps trying to bookmark the page!!!!I think they get a lot of the cars repo'd by hm customs where peeps have brought back to much booze etc.

Jeez, some of the bargain basement cars have been there for a LONG time - I noticed a couple boasting that they had MoTs until August 2004!

I was getting a shopping list together looking at that bargain basement section!
Tidy 2.9 Scorpio for £150?! Could sell all those Sierras for way more than they're asking too....
Bet the website is real out of date though....

Haven't looked at the link to see what they had on there stock list, but I've been there a few times in the past last time was just over a year ago, they did have a sierra White iirc brambles inside, they also used to be some old caviliers hiding in the trees you can only just see them.

Most have damage round them and some come from manheim auctions.As said though are cheap cars if you dont mind cleaning them up yourself and a bit of bodywork etc
