C4 Sorry State

[maxuk15]

Hi All,
Anyone (NW Region I guess) know anything about this C4 ?
Been on a garage forecourt in Blackburn as long as I can remember.

Near the Hospital in Blackburn !!!

That's a cryin' shame. Looks like a '87 ("D" reg) with the "Gotti" aftermarket wheels. Reminds me of the one in Streatham someone posted on the Facebook page a little while back:

Agreed cars get to point where so. neglected they become pass the point of restoring . What a waste .

But................................for the person with limited intitial purchase funds and who perhaps is prepared to spend a fair bit of time and effort.........something like these cars could be quite rewarding on a personal basis.......and an early realy really tidy C4 in the right colour IMHO can be a thing of great beauty!

And as Llewelyn and Chris have shown with the "Barn find" C4 ZR1 they bought after sitting unused for 20+ (?) years, might not take too much effort/expense to get that C4 above back on the road? I'm still kicking myself for selling the '85 C4 I owned for 29 years. Strange world? You dont see Ferrari 308s or 328s of that time sitting outside/abandoned and for me the Vette is the better car.

Last MOT expired 17/04/2007.
1st registered May 1989.
So been off the road a long time, but with a few basic checks, and if the price is right absolutely no reason it couldn't be brought back to life.

Gotti wheels were very desirable back in the day. Could be worth a punt if the price is right.
The red 85 looks a bit sorry looking, looks like it’s got the transparent tinted top. Nice

It is very sad to see once nice cars just sitting about outside on front gardens going to rack and ruin. Why? Surely they cost their current owners a decent amount of money when purchased.
A friends father still has the Ferrari 365BB that he bought new in 1974. Hasn’t been started in 30 years but a least it’s inside. To him it’s a £12K car as that’s what he paid for it back in the day. Traded his 365GTB Daytona for it. The son, grandson and great grandson want to get their hands on it, of course in time they will.
