Intriguing looking strut top restraints evident in the last photo.

Pair of Mk1 strut tops + spheres anyone?

From the description, sounds like a gearbox selector fault rather than the clutch.

Too far from me to find out though...

Don't know, if it feels as though its going into gear it probably is, could be that the o/s drive shaft centre bearing has broken up and allowed the shaft to slide out of the gearbox = no drive. I have actually had it happen.

I'm sure I've seen that car before but not in East Anglia.

Or what about a CV joint failure

Never known one actually fall appart

My mates did, just outside Southampton Luckily the RAC man couldn't find one locally so the car got brought home, an hour later it was back up and running

Thankfully it hasn't happened to me yet

Estate leather as well. Compete with WHM, and sell the leather for half they're looking, weigh in the car, and be in profit!! Sorry guys, scrap is now £150/tonne, and I have a big pile of accident damaged scrap estate to weigh in (minus engine and autobox), so I'm looking at this silver estate in the same way. Hopefully my scrap money on the estate will at least be the same value as the recovery man got paid for bringing it back home for me.

If it hadn't been the other side of the country, and the most difficult part to get to, I would have had a look at it.
