MK2 DL Coupe in scrapyard

Post by JoshWard » Wed Jan 30, 2013 6:43 pm

Hi all,
Found out about a MK2 DL coupe in a scrapyard today. Well beyond saving but may yield some useful mechanical spares or trim bits. Been told it's so rotten the engine fell out!!

It's at Frank Beale's scrapyard in Desborough, Kettering.
