It’s probably a Samuri now ....

It’s probably a Samuri now ....

many a truth spoken in jest! I think it’s more likely to be a 1969 car..

 

[Rob Gaskin]

I saw the programme and enjoyed it as usual - simple stuff,

I now know who Andy Plant is. Knew of him and his work, in fact spoken to him but never seen him.

Not commenting on the Z Farm.

Yellow 260 held together with gaffa tape and a pile of scrap …..

I notice the pile of scrap has a conspicuous rectangular hole where the VIN number lived...

Like the amazing regenerating Sea Sponge when it loses a piece of itself through injury, when a VIN of a RHD Zed falls off, it can grow an entirely new Zed around it, identical to the original. Incredible.

I think it this case - The white wide arched sea sponge was rapidly shedding limbs and maybe the VIN plate would’ve been all that was goi g to remain.
I’m sure it found another sea sponge to host it …

Wow that's pretty blatant - shame we don't recognise the white car, would be interesting to see where the old numberplate turns up.

 

[johnymd]

Couldn't see a guide price. Any guesses?

maybe the current owner removed the VIN to ensure it can't be used on a ringer.

 

[johnymd]

I suspect the vin was previously used on another car and as scrap shells are now becoming valuable, it may as well get sold for panel clips. Including it with a LHD shell gives you some parts to convert to RHD, although not many. It still has a value. Yellow car looks pretty good.
