    Wow how annoying. Another R4 going beyond restoration for no good reason.

    Any idea where it is going? It looks like it has a few good parts on it.

    What a waste. Do you mean buried literally? That sounds bizarre

    What kind of condition was it in, because it is in atrocious condition there, surely that can't happen in 5 years?

    When i looked at it it could be 6-7yrs ago.

    Both back wings were rusty(ones now hanging off)
    where the floor meets the a pillar there was a rust hole and the paint was faded...

    restorable at the time...

    Not very complete, there's no engine there anyway. I introduced a fella to him on Sunday who was interested in it, but I don't know what came of it. I can pm you a number if you like?

    Yep,there was a reasonable 2 door Opel Rekord estate buried just down the road from me last year,was irish and all.

    Five years out in the irish weather idle would make a mess of most cars.

    What's with the burying? It sounds so bizarre. Don't people know the difference between cars and people?

    It's actually hilarious, in a way...

    They'd bury it rather than paying a scrap man to take it...

    The Pagoda was discovered while dredging the river Neckar somewhere in Germany. It was donated to some Merc club or other. This pic taken at the show in Essen.
