Sad to see this in a scrapyard....

Found this in the local breakers in Stoke on Trent. Its an Audi 100 saloon, 5 cylinder injection manual. Its in brilliant condition, not a spot of rust and the paintwork is gleaming! The paint under the wheelarches is spotless too. Apart from a bit of wear on the drivers seat the interior is mint. the mileage was 202k but it looked more like a 50k car. There is slight damage on the drivers wing, caused by the forklift.



The towbar looked new, as did the exhaust. The underbonnet area was free of oil and has been polished up.... minor detailing I suppose! It had obviously been loved by its previous owner.

Why do motors like this end up being scrapped? there was no obvious reason for it being in there. The yard owners dont sell cars out of the yard, just crush them after a few weeks. Such a pity. Annoying for me as its in much better condition than the 100 I have at home in the garage!

If only id found it first........
