Classics left to die/rotting pics - Vol 2

[Hub]

The tax on the Spitfire ran out in 1998. It looks like it has been there longer!

What I don't understand is why someone would refuse to sell a rotting car left abandoned on their driveway or in a garage for many years..
It's just going to sit there and deteriorate.
"It'll get done some day", no it bloody won't otherwise it'd be done by now!

Shame really isn't it - not far from here there's a Jensen Interceptor under a tarpaulin which seems to get lower and lower each time I drive past. It's been there for at least twenty years but the owner rebuffs all attempts to get him to part with it.

Is that the interceptor Just of J20 M1 heading towards market harborough ?

Someone highlighted it before - might have been yourself! I went and looked at it on google maps, very sad - the car, not me (but maybe both).

It's in a village as I recall (on the main road).

What a shame. I'd do illegal things to get a nice Interceptor. I've never even been in one but I know it's my favourite car ever

Try 30 - it was there in 1987!

Oh dear! I do remember seeing it without the tarp on but I can't remember whether it's a Mk1,2 or 3.... it's not an FF is it...?

Not driven last that for about 5 yrs now, assumed it was the same one as I recall it from the mid 80's being there.

I previously posted pics of these two Jags that are sat on a property in a village near Clacton in Essex; noticed over Xmas that they are both still there.

The landowner's seeking planning to develop the property so I assume that they will be moved on at some stage.

That Jensen really is a terrible, terrible shame

[MarshPhantom]

What a state.

[uk66fastback]

What's useable from the Jensen? The glass and the rear lights on the outside ...

[AMG Merc]

Edd China would have that sorted by Tuesday. He works for free too

[Iva Barchetta]

Change the battery and give it a turn.

What's the worst that could happen ?

[austin]

Tax due 12th Jan, how is that possible? I thought it went from end / start of the month.

Colour brown? Almost there

[sim16v]

12th Jan was probably when the last change of keeper occurred, back in 1990!

Is the car at a village near Bruntingthorpe?

I remember seeing it years ago, and the plate is nearly my initials....
