One For Classic Car Fans.....

Sentimental value.... I'd love a scrap Escort Mexico sat on my dridriveway.

You'd soon become fed up with people knocking on your door wanting to buy it.

At the old place one of my neighbours had a Dolly Sprint on his driveway. His stated intention was to one day restore it, but when I moved out 14 years later it was so lacy the shell was collapsing in on itself.

Not only did it look unsightly and awful but a historic vehicle that could have been saved has been lost because the owner was not only too bone idle lazy to restore it, but was too bone idle laxy to even place an ad somewhere and punt it on while it was still salvageable.

I'd have Car SOS on speed dial.
