Title: Salvage auction on 12th jan
Post by VMAN on Jan 11^th, 2005, 8:29pm

Hi,
Just noticed a P Reg. 2.0L 16V Scorpio with what looks to be light damage going under the hamer at http://www.hewit.co.uk/ just thought I'd mention it if anybody looking for a cheap car or one for spares.

Regards John.

I just had a look at this. What i cant understand (well i do actually) is why they never show the damaged area! john.n ::)

Sorry if post misleading (monitor in work absolutely useless). Car seems to have been withdrawn from auction for some reason.

When I viewed there was a shot of the OS rear but due to a monitor fit for the bin I couldn't see full extent of the damage. When I went back today to look the car is no longer listed.

When I viewed it it showed several shots one of which was from the front Nearside loking rearwards.. Thge damage to the rear nearside was clearly visible especially over the rear wheel arch ... IMV it needed a complete new back panel... Expensiive repair......

Must admit the numbers don't match the car description you have to do a bit of juggling... mentally that is....which is difficult at my age
