mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ........Muira

Want one............IN LIME GREEN......

 

[television]

This one was only 500yds from me in Lyme Regis, when I moved here in 1996 it was all complete, it went 2 years ago when the house was rebuilt.

The original house was/is flats and no one knew who the owner was

This one is what now £250k plus the detailing

Despite being the least desirable of the E-type body styles, I always prefered the 2+2 shape. Just seemed right somehow. Drove one once. Terrible car. Cramped and handled like a pig. Compared to my Elan that was.

I wonder how much it was in that "original" condition.
I bet it was still over £100K.

Is that Muira the one in a French farmers field.

I read about it a couple of years ago. This mad French farmer has hundreds of rotting classic cars on his land but won't sell them to anyone (coz he's mad).

IIRC he keeps the Muria engine on the back of a pickup truck and move it around his farm to stop people trying to steal it.

IMO the man should be in prison!!!

I want to know where that Roller is.

Its ideal for banger racing!

The last of the 2+2 cars were much better, oddly enough the XK140 and 150 were much nicer than the 120, and I sold my last one for £600

The guy that you are talking about apparently has several old exotics festering away in an old apple orchard.
There are Ferraris, Maseratis and at least two Lamborghinis.
I think that Countach on the site is photographed there.
Sad!

I might have changed my mind on that 'hanging' discussion we had!!

How can they let cars like those get in that state!

 

[smillion]

I have always been saddened by these

 

[hurricaneX75]

I see two Bugattis and a Cord there.
Worth a fortune. Even in that condition.
