Noo.. scrapped 11.03.2022. I was just about to comment that it's amazing that both XR 35933 and XR 35934 are still alive. https://platesmania.com/no/nomer19674713

Wow! I didn't even realize the plate neighbors!
The Omega has been standing on the backsite of the Brauten Car Dealership. Sadly Sturla Brauten passed away this summer. His daughter who took over the dealersheap might have wanted a fresh start for the company and had seen no worth in Omega standing there.
Suprisingly the Golf standing to the side, got a new owner in July, but still deregistered again in September, at least not scrapped https://platesmania.com/no/nomer17657675
The problem with keeping cars inactive (especially outdoors) for extended periods of time while "waiting for that one special buyer, who understands the true value of a car like this and is willing to invest some time and money" is, that the condition deteriorates day by day with rust, mildew, rats nests, algae/moss, rotting rubber and fading paint.
This is what we see with all the car hoarders. They buy cars to save them from scrapping, but "don't have the time to restore right now" so put them aside for later, then another one pops up, that must be saved too... and another one. The time is never quite right... too busy... need to find some parts... later...
In the end, we get a big field full of completely rotten classic cars, falling apart and almost unrecognizable and people ask themselves "How did this happen? why?"
The lesson is: if you have a car that you want to restore, DO IT! If you have a car that you want to sell for restoration, DO IT! Place ads, ask around, but whatever you do, don't just park it in your backyard for later.

I get your point, but I would rather see old rotten cars in a yard then not seeing them at all. I'm sure these cars only had 2 futures. Scrapped or in a backyard

i buy alot of cars for future reparation, but at least parking all cars on concrete and some inside so could be worse
