They'll end up being weighed in for scrap - which is a shame, as it's only "people being people" that's caused it.

Why don't they at least look on carandclassic, ebay or this fine site and then they'd have a clue? No-one in their right mind would pay that money for anything less than a sorted, top-notch model that's ready to drive away, unless that precise car had sentimental value...
Having bought a BX that was driveable home for £100, and seen a few of the 'free to good home' cars that members have picked up - all of which have looked less of a wreck than this does - all I can do is shake my head.
If they were willing to let it go for a sensible amount it might be worth looking at, but even if it was completely roadworthy when it was parked there it certainly isn't now: brakes, tyres... if it's been sitting with its belly to the grass like that it might not have much of a floor in it! At £1000, it's not worth picking up the phone - except perhaps to call a psychiatrist
