URGENT help needed - 2 days to scrap or sell - by 24th!

[white16valver]

(With apologies for the caps in the title.)

I am lastminute.com and have failed to prepare for moving house

This means I have two Clios that I need to get moved or sold in 2 days, by the end of Thursday 24th.

i) a very rusty 16v
ii) a less rusty 16v-converted Clio van


Neither have moved for c.6 years.

Both don't move under their own steam (because I don't want to risk snapping cambelts etc.).


The valver needs both sills done and the offside rear wing, due to rampant petrol cap rust, and has some rust around the window. The sunroof also leaks like Julian Assange, but has been covered over with plastic sheeting to keep the rain out. It currently has no carpet/sound deadening due to an epic rainy night many years ago, before I parked it up, but I have that tucked away.

The van needs the nearside sill done and the offside rear arch, but generally seems pretty solid.


The valver was overhauled to Williams widetrack by @MatBrown, all bar the subframe and the front springs (172 Cup):

The van was built up by @HYBRID_HAZ, with 16v engine and (front only?) suspension, gearbox, dash (including oil gauges) and seats:

who sold it to me when he had no space (IIRC). I parked it up with the intention of getting it on the road, but due to sh!t pay, lack of skills and not having a driveway, it's been sitting there since then.


It's going to break my heart to get rid of them I've been hoping I could get them restored/running when I got some money, but it just hasn't happened.

I don't want to sell them for £50 to a 'Cash for cars!!' place or the scrapman, but I don't think I can afford the ridiculous costs of storage (£100+ per month) or a garage (£60+ per month), and they'll likely just sit there going even more rusty anyway until I (never) win the lottery or something drastic happens and I actually earn decent money.


So...

Is there anyone on here who would want them and could arrange for collection?? The cars are in Essex and I could be available at any time over the next couple of days.

I would really like someone to buy and restore them, but I appreciate that is unlikely to happen. I imagine the valver, at least, might end up broken, but I'd rather it went to the community than the crusher.


Help, people
