Abandoned(looking) Monty Blue

[Yugen]

My mate in Fordingbridge sent me this picture over a few months back and I enquired about buying it when I was down there for a car show. The owners daughter said he wasn't going to sell it which is such a shame, it needs saving! I left my contact details but I've had nothing so it's not looking good

See a few recently coming up like that.

Amazing how many of them are like that in Japan too.

We should start a charity to save neglected rotaries.

Absolutely! I hate seeing a neglected FD, people dont treasure them as much as they should

What the owner tells everyone he owns when he's down the pub......

It got so close to the garage but didn't quite make it .

What a state, must have been there ages. Don't think I've seen an FD with rear suspension that far gone.

It's been off the road since 2012, he clearly hasnt worked on it since then his daughter mentioned that he was struggling to get parts for it but still wants to restore it. Not holding my breath

They are not that hard to get parts for .

Mines up on blocks for some maintenance at the moment, had a delivery driver offer me 1500 to take it as it is yesterday .

[Ceylon]

Yeah I tried to not look too insulted .

Keep bugging the owner, that is usually what happens with barn finds and eventually they budge.

I'm glad no one has got their hands on it or it would be grey or blue like a fecking focus rs by now! Everyone needs to treasure the winners colour, mind you if you saw the state of mine atm it would make a grown man cry! Absolutely covered in kitchen tile dust! Only a matter of time before I can drive it in and out of the shed so first drive will mean he's coming out of the shed and having a bloody great wash!
