TC Coupe in Scotland

Post by JoshWard » Wed Jan 02, 2013 8:55 pm

These photos were posted up on Facebook today. The car is in a back garden which is more of a scrapyard. Filled with all sorts of wonderful stuff including pre-War cars, Eastern Bloc stuff (including an FSO Polonez!!) and lots of French stuff (including a few 309s 8-) )
The person who posted the pictures said everything is for sale, although I have no contact details. I believe the site is in Perthshire.

Good link worked for me, I have no account.

I'll take the Skoda Coupe and the later Skoda 4 door. There's a period rally car right there.

Bloody hell, though I was turning into a hoarder!

TC looks pretty rotten, anybody hazard a guess at its year?

Them Camper vans will be worth a pretty penny!

TC looks to be an N reg Reingold like Late Darren's motor possibly.
Does not look to bad and might even be savable?

The O/S/R sill looks VERY bad though not to mention the boot well. Nothing that would put Frank off though, just need enough money to do it!! 8-)

Don't worry Glen I've known far too many friends and relatives that have owned Fix Or Repair Dailies to know I don't want one on my drive :lol: (unless it was a Corsair or an Angle-box or something...)

Nice find there Josh, looks like a very rare Brazil Metallic job to me a great colour when it was new, for gods sake stay away from the FSO... we had one traded in at the garage i worked at years ago, the sales manager took it round the block for a quick evaluation (a 5 minute drive) in that short time he snapped off the heater controls, the gearstick came off in his hand, the window winder broke and the wiper stalk caught fire!...needless to say he was not impressed, the scrap man was summoned and off it went ;)

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Love the FSO story, that just makes me want one more!! I'd love to experience a car that is so crap.

Brazil Metallic is proof you can roll a turd in glitter! Wouldn't be my first choice of colour but very 70s.
