My computer skills (or lack of them)don,t allow me to do such technical things as providing links..so its just the numbers from this end.

must be proper broken to be getting broken up though theyre worth a few grand as a non runner though!

He says it only done 60k miles, surely even if seriously damaged or broken down it has to be worth repairing.

Only if you can find the parts to repair it.....

One dies so others may live. This also makes the ones that are alive just that little bit more sort after

[amigov6]

He does'nt say why he's breaking it @ 60k with history?

This is the one that was on ebay previously that had had a serious rear end shunt.

Oh and the picture is of another LC owned by an ABS member!

I thought I saw about a year ago brand new crated engines and gearboxes for the LC going on ebay for about 6K for an engine, expensive, yes. If it has a rear shunt there must be plenty of Carlton's in the breakers yard that you can cut the back end off or even re shell it, 2 years ago I sold my mint 1989 Carlton 2.0 GL for £50.00, it had not a spot of rust in it. I believe all the body mods on the LC where at the front and the base car was, a base car they started with when building a LC.

As for the body kit, even aftermarket is better than destroying it surely.
