Parked outside a coal merchants shop on the way back from Wrexham to get my new seats for the TZD, which was closed,

Body was quite tidy as was the interior, its a 19TGD.

I thought it was an 'M' as well - did they ever come in an M or was it L? Anyway, looks terminally abandoned.

They were indeed a handful on 'M' registrations. IIRrc Ken went all the way to the Wirral to see one once that turned out to be a bit of a dog.
The dude with that BX estate obviously doesn't live on a main road to/from any scrapyards or that would have been weighed off by some thieving get with a Hiab long since.

:lol: That's what I thought. Maybe Tim means it wasn't all scabby and dented. Looks like it'd have more than a few issues underneath though. :roll:

Also the trim appears to be peeling off by the o/s/r door, the front bumper looks damaged and, horror of all horrors, there are no wheeltrims.
Tim, please report to the BXC nurse, we're concerned for your mental well being :lol:

But it'll run on chip fatt

It ain't got no trims, it just run on stee-lies
Wiv a 1.9, it aint gonna pull wheelies
But if you wanna go cruisin wiv Phil and his gang
Bling it up, rub it down, 'sa Bxathon thang....

The body was very straight and rust free, asides the missing trim it looked half tidy.
