URGENT!!

A sad sight on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1493338657435153/
FREE TO A GOOD HOME
Shell only and not rolling.
Front and rear seats still in there, most of the glass is good (just the front cracked), door cards are in there too. Good for some rear quarter cuts etc.
**worth noting that the underside is rotten**
Collection on Wednesday evening otherwise it’ll most likely be scrapped.
Located near Hook, Hampshire just off the M3.
Putting it on here is case some parts may be of use to someone, but you'll have to be quick.

It wasn't on the register, but now added, for the record.

Last known location in the register was Argyle and Bute in 2014, where yes, is was up for sale in that year. It has moved around the UK with quite a few owners since first added to register in 2010.

On nearly 184k miles when MOT passed recently, 20 March 2025.

Not enough there to see if it is on the register. Some interesting mods under the hood. Series 2 seats in a Series 3 too?

Pretty sure it used to belong to this chap.. was an attempted theft (look at the steering column)

It’s a shame as I said we could get him the parts easily and cheaply to get it back on the road but it seems he did an insurance claim instead
