[baybus70]

Found this '71 model Dormy abandoned the other day.
apparently, its been there for about 10 years and not moved!
There is also an old porsche 914 languishing to the left(not visable) and a '77 merc camper.
Bits of old vw littler his drive!
Maybe someone will save it!

If anyone is intersted, van is on Mosely Street,Southport.you can't miss it!

Looks like somones welded an old bathtub to the front....

**** man whats the rot like to the chassis, thats gonna be proper british cancerous rust.....

 

[baybus70]

It's not overlypretty under neath!
I'll try and get some better pics but would agree that it's a fairly crusty example!

On the plus side tho....er. no it's gone!

Check out how the front bumper is held up by bricks. That says to me pretty serious rust issues at the front.

What's the sliding door like being a RHD and all!

Anyone gonna try n buy to do it up :?:

 

[Guest]

i saw one in a similar state outside a breakers, i went up for a look and handfuls of chassis just fell off in my hand. It was worse than anything i've seen on here, but someone still bought it and towed it the next day!

Slightly better photo!
Come on guys, this needs to be saved or at least bought for bits! 8)

Just did a DVLA enquiry. Van was 1st reg on 1/7/71.
Last tax disk expired 1/1/1998, so been standing 10 years +

thats a neat trick - building the fog lights into the front bumper.
