Goggomobil barn find with two skeletons in it!
« on: October 08, 2012, 07:04:51 PM »
A very early Goggomobil barn find, covered in cob webs after 40 years in hiding. The odds of returning this Goggo to useful service are not much better than the likelihood of reviving the driver and passenger.

That really does look like it's beyond saving.

This one was on advert a couple of times.
Maybe it's for someone who wants to waste his money. Or....halloween here we go. Doesn't make any sense to me anyway.

A closet collector caught out? Halloween, yes. Trick or Trash. Quite funny I thought. I have had a few grimboyd Goggos in my time but I think that is as bad as I have seen.

Something might be salvageable, remember the Bugatti found at the bottom a river a few years back!  ;D

What the original Bugatti in a lake that was otherwise owned by a guy who paid a fortune for a fake version in Japan as the fakers thought the other car would never surface. Chuckle, snigger. Yes it is, save I do not think this time there is a Japanese fake!
