This has been in a drive in Whitehaven las couple of year, knocked on the door a few times but never in.
Spotted at the side of the road while going to work, past going home and it wasn't there, spotted a guy clearing up where it wa and it was his, scrapped it :-(
Sadly the scrapman wrecked it lifting it onto the truck, I believe its in a scrapyard at the moment.

It's sad when they are simply crushed without any parts being used to keep others viable.

not right really but maybe he had his reasons for not breaking it.next year we might have to move and if we can't get somewhere with storage I might have to do the same with my vans and 'tinas :(

He never said but I think he had been told to clear up he was in the middle of clearing up in the pouring rain and in a rush when I spoke with him, I told him what a mistake he had made scrapping it but just said it had had it, didn't look bad at all when I looked at it, shame ok got in the way that day.
