My god the front end has no rust on it.

Seems a bit silly as Im sure they would have got near to £2k for it anyway.

There was an article in classic car magazine a couple months ago about the scrappage scheme and how its killing the future of classic cars.

There are a couple of spots of rot under one of the headlamps, if you look really closely :D

If anyone fancies a trip to North London then some of the parts can be saved before it goes to the crusher, but unfortunately the majority of it will need to be scrapped...

Absolutely everything could be removed, including the engine. Its just the main body that needs to be crushed, the doors and bonnet and tail can be removed as well.

All very valid points, but, sadly, i doubt anyone would pay £2k for it

yeah the main car body must be crushed, however absolutely everything else can be removed and sold on if the scrappy wishes to break them up.
