Same for the Aston, tried to do a search but no luck!

No, you won't find anything, other than it's not for sale and that several people have asked, what do you want to know?

williamp said there was a thread on it..

here you go http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a... Aston MartinDB3 for resto - in someone's front garden!

p.s. It's a DB Mark III not a DB3 which was an Aston Martin Racing car based on the DB2.

That would be GTO chassis 3589GT, left in an open field by its owner from 72 to 86 . . . it was after all just an old racing car

Looks like this now

Missed this earlier on, many thanks for the pic and info!

Thanks for that!

A very obvious kit, as the rear quarters are too short.

Probably a Fiero or an MR2



Real F40

More Sicilian cars
one more of the Lancia.

Another Fiat500 shooting brake.


Many of these cars are still there

My favourite.A Moto Guzzi Work truck.This one is dumped but I see a few still being used by the locals.

I am going to have to buy a trailer and go knocking on doors this year.
The Karmen ghia and alfa have gone so has the Auto giro The bike, fiats,lancia and others are still there
I could bring back about a million Fiat 500s and 600s that are starting to be left lying about now the locals have discovered Mercedes,BMW and Porsche....paid for by the EU funding that has filtered down south over the last few years.

This Elan hasnt moved for many years, its full of water as its vinle sunroof colapsed years ago and vandals smashed the side side windows. Its Chassis is slowly colapsing.
The Nut who owns it wont sell.

The latter one looks like a V8 with the twin pipes. Get knocking on the door!

When I was little (3-4) there was an N reg mk2 Escort parked on someone's drive around my nan's estate, quite rotten. This was in the mid 90's.

By chance, took a wrong turn a few weeks ago and was shocked to see it still there. Absolutely covered in plants, moss, the works Must get a picture of it. I used to want that car when I was a kid

[D18OCK]

This is an absolute travesty and quite frankly a crime against all PHers!

The Miura is my favorite car of all time! I know that few agree but come on who leaves such a gorgeous car in this state?!
