Oh wow! How does that happen and surely whoever buys it can't afford to register it as it would just lose all its value?

could you image if someone bought that and use it as a track car :) because technically it still wouldn't been registered

Haha, but it wouldn't be track legal in its current state. Plus it would ruin what looks like a brand new car.

Wow, what a 'time-warp'.

An iconic car from the swinging sixties. I was just thinking what I was doing in 1964. I bought my first new car that year, a 998 Austin Cooper, got engaged, did my first international rally and left the company at which I had been a student apprentice. Quite a year.

The Beatles and the Stones were right at the top, the first pirate radio station started, Radio Caroline, there were still steam engines in main-line use and Paddy won the Monte in a 1071 'S'.

Those were the days. I didn't get my first Mk.1 Cortina until 1966 - a Cortina GT in white.

You can't imagine anyone going out today to buy a bottom of the range ford focus and just putting into their garage can you?

I buy classic car weekly and almost every week one of these cars crops up, its a Delorean with 24 miles on the clock this week.
