I am assuming this is no one on here's car:

Could be a cheap car for someone. I probably have the parts to repair it still i.e. the hub and the front subframe in case it has been bent.

I'd just spotted that one as well although I'm not sure i believe the light kerbing to the drivers side. if it's done that to the front whats it done to the rear.

"Hit a pavement edge going round a corner". Must have been giving it some beans to hit the kerb on the opposite side of the road!

Still, does look in good nick, especially the interior. Be interesting to see what it goes for.

Yes that must have been some impact, I reckon the chassis may be twisted. Seems strange that if it only needed a minor repair that they haven't touched it in 7 months. Also no information on mileage, owners, service history etc.
Could be good for breaking though especially for a fellow noggy avant owner

Just spotted the mileage 87K.

Suppose it could have been a one way street or more likeley belting it through one of those traffic calming areas where the road norrows.

Looks too good to be true to me....

Also looks like it's in a scrappy's yard given the fork lift in the top right hand corner and the ground type

Hmm.. I wonder if the chassis is straight???

Interesting one or what ! how do you break suspension off like that ?

dunno, but Im quite interested in it....hmmmmmmm

Plenty of valuable parts on there

worst case scenario yes..... Im just wondering if Im ready for another S4 resto project.... I didnt make any money on the last one(wasnt the aim anyway) but it was fun!! just wondering if its gonna be more hassle than its worth.... I texted the guy and hes said he wants 4500 for it, but thats a big risk for me as I'm not local and, well TBH even if it was straight it could be a dog! Worst case the sub frame could be bent and have dislodged a captive nut in the chassis, which is just a world of hurt! I mean... Ive never seen suspension just snap like that..,... that must have been some force gone into that.......

I picked up an Integrale from the docks recently for a mate, it had exactly the same damage. The previous owner had successfully done a 'Reliant Robin conversion' on it, yet there was no body damage at all. And Integrale shells are renowned for being quite easy to damage.

As for the forklift, it's not too easy moving a car around with a missing wheel. We had to do a three point turn in a small industrial unit using trolley jacks. We felt like the Chuckle Brothers!

hmmm.... you passing manchester any time soon?? lol
