I read something similar a while back on one if the groups regarding an Astra GTE and it turned out it was the car the only son had owned before he passed, so the parents wanted to keep it on the drive 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But looking at that picture especially the colour of the roof it could be a brave resto. If your saying it’s still there, you should definitely follow it up. Even if it’s too much for you someone else here would be interested. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cam.in.head Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 yes definately worth asking. there may be a few saveable parts on it. im sure the owner would be glad for someone to take it away but you never know .ive had a few free cars from gardens over the years including a mk1 cav a few years ago that had 30000 miles on and needed no welding anywhere ! and a couple of mantas . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted a few of my Mantas insurance photos and got a massive positive response on X (Twitter) and got these sent back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
