Crathie Terrace Aberdeen

Post by tonyg » Sun Jul 04, 2021 3:56 pm

Walked along there for the first time in a long while and the Elise that lives there (blue with silver stripes) is looking very neglected, looks to be up on stands/bricks with no wheels and the paint is looking poor.
Anyone know what has happened?

Annoyingly, you can't see it on Street View as it's obscured.

I'm not interested in the car, but if someone else is i could put a note through the door with your phone number on it if you want.

I had a look at the MOT history. A wee bit comedy. Esp since at one point it had nearly 750,000 miles on it

Even if corrected, it’s a 120k miler registered June 2003. Last MOT expired Oct last year as Phil said.

I’ll pass.

Unlike most of its MOTs...


Albeit tempting if sold for peanuts as a barn find !!

This reminds me of the S1 I spotted in Dundee - I went to the door and got Foxtrot Oscared sharpish :damnfunny

On a positive note my interest spurred the owner to get it back on the road :thumbsup
