This Citroen BX and Lotus Esprit no longer look as tidy as this, but were still in the same locations on Saturday. Both are turning a nice shade of green. They are about 2 houses apart from each other in Burnham-on-Crouch.

Alright Phil! I was going to post the Lotus, you beat me to it lol! Welcome to Pistonheads.

Cheers. It has been there for years, but right now looks unused.

A couple of years ago a bit of shrubbery was cleared back from a road in Bristol to make way for a parking meter, boohoo I hear you quite correctly say, but it did reveal this Rover 3500S parked on a drive way which has not moved since. Seems a bit cleaner after this years heavy rains than it did last year.

If thats a real MGC I'd be most surprised to see it heading towards the scrappies. Surely it would be well worth a rebody at worst.

Cheers,

Google Earth. This is a private house. There are always a few cars on the roadside. I had no isdea what else there was until my son alerted me to the other side of the wall when he passed it on the way to school upstairs on the bus. Mostly MGs

Rather a sad looking Gilbern Genie front and centre. typical DM nonsense; it's a not a fortune, it's a collection of rather tired looking cars, a few of which may fetch more than £10k.

I agree in priciple, DM is chip wrapping, but that photo's about a quarter of them, & doesn't include the significant ones mentioned. Even at a grand a pop, 105 of them would keep me happy for a while!

the 7 series is a 500 quid ebay snotter, and you've cropped out the 6 series, which may be a good un (but is more likely to be a rotbox

You discounted a P6, a Volvo 1800 estate and a Scimitar? Is that because of condition or because you don't think they are classic?

Not a classic per se, but clearly not driven for a while.



Eta... I have no clue why this picture is upside down!

Not to mention what looks like a pair of Lancia Fulvia Coupes?

I'd take the P1800 for parts, specifically I need an overdrive and other engine bits and know those rear screens are rare.

Been busy with my little camera.I have a list of loads more to photo but i can't just stop

a HGV to take pics all the time.



This Viva looks to have been exhumed from its resting place but has spent at least 3 weeks

on the back of this Transit.







5 XJSs in a yard,one's a XJRS





Tax only ran out on this Austin in August but looks a bit shabby









Tax disc visible in this Rover is 2005 but looks too clean to have been parked for 7 years
