A while ago I mentioned I had spotted a blue 360 gle limited edition saloon near where I live ,
I had been keeping an eye on it in case it came up for sale ( it has full leather and a hella grille ), even put a card on the windscreen ,
well it disappeared from its usual spot some months ago.
yeaterday I was coming away from my sons place and spotted, yes you guessed it the same blue gle just round the corner from his house with a sign in the window ,
was it for sale ,
No ,
the sign on it says it has been cleared for towing away as it has no tax.
that means it will be crushed and the leather and grille will be lost
what a bloody waste
typical

Actually, if you have a place to take it don't mess about, just go and tow or recover - you will have to act fast.
My brother did it a while back with an abandoned Astra GTE. I'm pretty sure it won't be a big problem, you can always change the locks etc when you have possession - the main thing now is getting it safe before some pillock with an Hi-Ab lifts it
At least you can steer as the steering lock will not come on, it's a 300!
And let's face it, it's just a liabilty to whoever is gonna take it cos it will be a firm with a contract for abandonned cars through the police or council
