Default Premier Inn Newhaven Edinburgh

Anybody know these cars. Have been at the Premier Inn for months and now have clamps, unpaid tax and Police aware notices on?

Shame, as checking the history.........the 800 has done under 50K and good MOT history till 2017. The MG has done 60K.

What colour is the ZT in? It looks almost like a monogram colour, or it might just be the sunlight. I'd gladly take either of them if they want their parking spaces back...

It is a monogram and could be a very nice car as is the 800.

Cool

The ZT’s colour is Typhoon. From the Monogram program.

Wow. Can’t believe they’ve been clamped. What happens to these cars?

There was a third car which obviously belonged to the same owner.......a Jag. This was also clamped but today was moved. Don't know if this was by the owner or the Police. Will keep an eye on the Rover and MG.

Shameful waste of what looks like two decent cars. The 827 with what I assume is the Honda engine fitted, with a quite low mileage on it, is just wasting away.
The Honda 2.7 I is virtually indestructible with normal use.
Bit of a puzzler this one.

Indeed......I had an 827 a few years ago, with the 2.7 and it was a lovely engine and car.

The Jag, Rover and MG have now all been removed so the notices and clamps obviously worked.

Cannot find out yet whether the owner came back for them or the impoundment company took them to take to auction??

I was informed that the cars would get taken away and stored and owner notified. If owner doesn’t get in touch or refuses to have the car, then it will be sold on at auction.
