Default 1974 145DL Estate breaking (Buckinghamshire)

Hello all,
Just joined, in the hope that someone out there would be interested in parts from my dad's old 145DL estate which is breaking apart all by itself...

It is in a very poor state, genuinely not saveable as a whole. Most panels are rusted through and front suspension collapsed - its been left uncovered outside for around 25 years.

However, some bits of interior, instruments, glazing and stainless trim, light lenses, wheels etc may be of use to someone. The interior is the lovely brown vinyl, which I imagine could survive a nuclear apocalypse. It hasn't seen direct sunlight in decades. It has the rear-facing pop up seats. Engine will likely be seized solid, but gearbox and transmission may still be ok. Its 4 spd manual, I don't think it had overdrive.

I don't have any meaningful photos at the moment as it is still buried under ivy and leaves... but you all know what a 145 estate looks like, just imagine a really rotten green one. It's going to be dragged out in the next few weeks and sent off for scrap, but it would be really nice if at least a few bits can live on.

It's located in Princes Risborough, Buckinghamshire (HP27). If you would like more info, please don't hesitate to ask... essentially, if you want anything, and you're prepared to come and get it, it's yours.

Many thanks in advance,

Tom
