Hi all I'm after an old, small car to get my hands dirty with and learn a bit of mechanics. I want to take it apart and put it back together. Doesn't need tax or an MOT. Let me know what you've got and name your price (free cars will also be considered  ) Thanks |

HI
There is a seemingly abandoned Scirocco MK2 in Scarborough I know of. I used to own it a number of years ago and it seems to have fallen on hard times...I think the pub owners would be happy to see it go and porbably for nowt!
All sciroccos never got more technical than electronic ignition and this model is the carb (running a pierburg) - so all mechanical and no ecus.
If you're interested i get give you directions.
Ian

Crikey, I think I know the one! There was a 'can it be rescued' thread on either here or sciroccoregister yonks ago. Can't be that many abandoned Sciroccos in pub car parks can there? The thread ended with nobody being brave enough to 'steal' it.
Either way it's a good choice.... lots of room around the engine, good part availability, and if you end up without a runner at the end of it they still break for a good price! If the pub one doesn't work out, a non-runner can be had off ebay for night-out money, seen them for £40 or so recently needing welding.

I had a look last weekend.
Its not been taxed since Dec - and has picked up 3 parking notices. The bodywork is dull - but all there - no dents etc. Some minor rust breaking through on the door bottoms. Someone HAS spent some money on it though as it has a head unit and a recent Jetex sports exhaust (around £200 new). Currently on 3 alloys and a space saver spare.
Interior on this model is all whiote and will need a clean!Everything seems there and would probably run .
If you want to look - drop me an email
