Well, it's not looking good for (m)any of these - time is now against me and I need to dispose of
12-15 years' worth of mothballed cars and parts in the next few days and coming weeks.
Realistically, nobody wants the hassle of getting hold of these despite probably wanting the
cars even for spares and whilst it'll kill me weighing them in, bottom line is I need some value
clawed back on something having spent £1000's over the years keeping them as a reserve and
now owing £1k plus on a new transporter trailer as a means to shift them.

There's the awful prospect that other cars I definitely dont want to part with will need to go the
same way...

I'm sorry I've not replied to your query Robert, I haven't had much opportunity to spare time for
pictures and descriptions but can catch some tomorrow (today).

Cars spoken for situation as it looks at the moment:

Green V6 auto - firm intent to buy and collect - no update though?
Maroon 2.1 manual - what do you want to do Paul
Maroon 2.0 manual - I'll get bodyshell reports for you Will - same as Paul, how do you want to go about saving a car!?

Even half intents for a car are better than me weighing it in in the 'wrong order' so speak up anyone!
I realise pictures are necessary to show the goods on offer but would this just be wasting my time if
geography and timing are a no-no for anyone wanting any of these?

I really can't see eBay offering a solution here as most cars never seem to sell on first outing and it
all drags on timewise - something I'm now out of. :cry:

I'm guessing trailering is going to be expensive as even at cost, a TD towcar is going to struggle to return
20-25mpg so this would give some idea of expenditure though I haven't dwelled long on 90quidsworth
of diesel to get any empty trailer from Bedford to Swansea - approximately 500 miles. TBH I'm so up
against it now for time a whole day of precious weekend time or leave cannot really be spent trailering
cars that are being sold at barely scrap weigh in price? I don't know Paul.
