in going to the wreckers.... as you do :D
Ended up coming across this 1990 tp elite, nice looking lil thing, had all the options and was still in 1 piece, had yet to be touched. then i start to search it,
immaculate interior, not even a stain, body completely straight, not even a scuff on the bumper, no rust at the bottom of the doors, rubber plugs in doors still in factory condition, the entire car was pristeen.
then i get to the logbook still in the glovebox, last year june it has it 80,000km service. the lil sticker at the driver side top glass read next service 84,000km. the car has 83,000 on the clock!
the car was immaculate, I bet any money it is the last factory condition magna left, and it's now stripped to the bone in a junkyard. The ash trays had never even been used.
If i didn't have that damn alfa in my garage at the moment i'd a got the wheels put em back on, and driven the thing home. the exhaust was the original, didnt even have any holes in it !!!!!!!!!
what freak would get rid of a perfectly great car like that, didnt have a council sticker or anything.
I was the most upset magna owner that day, I just hoped someone else rescued it, poor thing :cry:

I know how you feel. Came across a very similar vehicle at the wreckers a few months back. That's also why I'm trying to prevent similar happening to the TN that I have. It may not be the perfect specimen at the moment, but it will be very close at the other end (main issue will be the engine number won't match, the original block being totally unusable.)
