Picture doesnt quite show it but this mustang has been sat here for well over 10 years, was the home owners son's I believe. Was a project that never got completed! Not the greatest looking mustang but still a massive shame to see it die a slow and painful death. (Believe its a Triumph Stag under the cover too)




The below is just round the corner, again been there for 10+years. Not too sure what this is, a Triumph maybe?

Here's another. The classic, has moved and is now covered in green moss, and the Skoda Felecia is gone.
No idea what the classic car is.

Looks like a Zodiac or A Zephyr

This has been slowly decaying for many years. It didn't look too bad when I first remember seeing it, got to be quite a bit more than 10 years ago.

Not entirely sure what lives under the tarp

Here are the one's I see regularly



Pangbourne, Berks - There's a couple of Ford Cougars and a Rancho here too now!

I came here to post this! Live just around the corner, the Citroen has never moved in years, and the two cougars appeared over the last 5 years too.

This Lada was in a sorry state, covered in moss and obviously hadn't been moved for years when we moved to the area in 1991 and it stayed there till 2015. The house was in a similarly st state throughout the whole time but it was also done up when the car went. I suspect the owner died and the family got rid.

Looks like a Riley RM.

Another Sierra - there in 2009, joined by an old tractor in 2010, only just gone in the last year or so.
Just west of the GWR station at Toddington.

Morris Oxford Series V

I pass this place fairly often, near Whipsnade...

[TooMany2cvs]

I wonder who's going to be the first to have their house posted here...?

[BFleming]

These 2 Shadows haven't moved in the last number of years. Looks like someone was trying to start a wedding car business...

Not the best of pictures, but this was just up the road from where we used to live. It was there when we moved in 2009 and looked like it had been there a long time before.

That makes me sad. Like it's an old persons car outside a nice little bungalow and they're bed-bound inside, the car sits outside waiting to be driven to the seaside or somewhere nice.

That looks like an old Fiat Panda. Surely driving it to the seaside would be the automotive equivalent of a trip to Dignitas?

[Gunk]

These two haven't turned a wheel for at least 10 years.

...and a bit further up the same road:
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@52.7068151,1.613921...
This one used to be a proper scrapyard / repair place back in the 70s. Bloke that ran it was massively into banger racing.


What's that at the back with the strakes on the rear window? Another Lotus?

Yes, looks like an Esprit to me.

[JP Wolf]

Couple of ones I know of around Wolves -



Think I've counted upto 8 Saabs at different times over the years - from 99 / 900 upto 95 - some that look like they are still used.

Also a proper Rover man lives here - often out working on them

Bit weird isn't it? It actually looks like it's in not bad nick under all that.

given how far the wheels are sunk into the mud I'd guess the floor will be sat on the ground and the whole underneath will be rotten.

[CS400]

Few old Volvos here and some other junk, not far from Dartford.

The thing is the owner has got at least two more of those Volvos packed full with junk/rubbish. They also seem to have a fascination with garden gnomes
