What's the story behind them ?

Couple moved into the house in the 70s, they were already there. The midget was theirs, and was added in later, well in '84.

The previous owner was a pilot, killed in a crash landing, so that was his personal 66 Fiat 500.

I'm keeping my eye on this, it now has a flat tyre and hasn't moved in at least 6 months. Methinks it's getting towards the time when I put a note on the windscreen to see if it's for sale.
How much do they come in at, anyone know?

Are you sure that abandoned? there's not a spec of rust on it...

Very good.....

its unusual for a Sirocco

I expect it just appeared in the mid 80s.

This poor thing is at the bottom of the Falcon rollercoaster in Duindell Theme Park, near The Hague, Holland. Unsurprisingly, I received much abuse from my wife and daughter for taking such interest! I can't remember the site to check when this was last licensed, but it looks like it has been there a while...

Technical question: can Land Rovers ever be left to die/rot? Surely they are merely 'resting' until the next lunatic owner comes along?

Blimey, it's obviously been sitting there for much longer than I remember!

New to the thread, fascinating. Have we had this yet?

Watched it rot away for quite a few years now

That's a really old street view image too - 2009. Is the Range Rover still there too? Must be properly rotten by now.

Last time I went by the 2 Mazda's were still there looking very sorry for themselves. Range rover missing from the 2012 pic I posted.

I walked past a house locally today,been past it 1000s of times.

Saw the garage door open and an early E type in there looking like it's not seen much action lately

as lots of stuff piled on it.

Wasn't really in a position to take a pic.

Well I think one of them qualifies as a classic :-)

The Jag looks like it's been cut down to a pickup...?

Thought that SD1 with rare bodykit and alloys looked familiar-(not my pix btw )

[droopsnoot]

I had to turn back to get a photo of this. Then I blurred out the reg and saved the image, so I don't remember what it was and can't check tax etc. Properly green though, would love to know why.

Maserati 4200 Spyder....[i think]

Not THAT old either to be abandoned.

Must have serious issues.
