It says the listing was ended, but if you scroll down you can still see the photos. Not a nice sight surrounded by the odd assortment of broken down cars and shipping containers.

Such a shame. It's a nice looking car, just needs a good valet.

Awful ad, I can see what Nick means now: It's bad enough to see such fine cars not being cared for anyway, but much worse if you'd been a previous owner.

I feel for you, Nick.
I had an Opel GT, like a mini Dino. I saw it in Manchester about three weeks after I let her go. Really upset me, the front offside was mangled.

I had the same with my all time favourite Granada (2.8i Ghia manual). Found it at auction. It had suffered one of those resprays where paint was applied liberally where no paint should be. Plus raised edges where masking tape had been removed. Then the owner, who I sold it to, turned up and I had to pretend he'd done wonders to it.

I'm surprisingly upset to see that S8 in that state. And no, I must resist.... But what a project, and a lovely colour...... and a sunroof

Looks like mine after I parked it up on the road for two days this week while we had some trees felled...
Dirt road = dust bomb!
Then it rained and it looks terrible

Really must wash it
