The "Cars In Incongruous Locations" thread

Often wondered why that Cozzie is sat there, it's been there a couple of years or so at least now. They have some interesting stuff going through their workshop, so it isn't really abandoned, just "at rest" I reckon

Mega want on that Cosworth! Wonder if they will notice if I replace it with a boggo red Escort overnight.

I have seen some old 70's Escort's in the workshop, i just cant understand why that Cossie has just been left alone, wonder how much dosh it would cost????

owner never came back, owner didnt agree to pay a bill, it was bought in to salvage a key component and garage owner thought he could use few more bits off it? garage owner thought he'd restore it but never got round to it? etc etc...

Wonder if the garage owner wants rid, i bet it would not start though and would need some work doing to it if it has been sat around for a long long time.

A fella round my way had a V8 Vantage parked outside his very ordinary 3 bed semi. He'd done well on a few buy to rent house sales.

Any excuse...

Indeed, serious stuff in there. My favourite part though is the separate category from Vauxhall just for the Vx220...

Driving past this at Loch Eribol looked just like the Brother in law's

In some of the isles that would still be seen as a perfectly good vehicle. Is it suitable for export to Barra? (no MOT required there)

Well if we're going for that kind of vibe...



Seriously mate, you'll never fit that in... oh crikey.




Amazing what a steak and kidney lock-opener can do with an LDV...

Speculation that it was Holland, but some seem to think Italy.

Whatever, here's a link to the story: http://www.evo.co.uk/news/evonews/248605/lamborghi...

What I don't get is why was that scrapped? Surely it can't cost more to repair than it is worth. And being Number 000 it is the first one ever made production wise.

I saw that escort cossie a while ago and had I been driving I would have stopped and made an offer there and then.

And the picture with the Ferrari, a Tuscan is behind it

Break em, sell the parts. They aren't a cheap place to buy from.

I've had a couple of engines off em in the past and they've been good ones though.

Found this the other week, abandoned, and yes it is a real Cozzeh, such a shame to see it in this condition.

I dont normally feel a sense of outrage but something must be done!

Lets get it and restore it! Save the Cosworth from a dusty death!

Hopefully each one of those will let another one or two live though, think of it like that .

Local guy near me has a 360 Spyder (has done for years now so would of been an expensive car at the time), and lives in a 2 bed council house. Use to have 996 vert probably 7 years ago now?

Makes me laugh really as a matter of yards of the road is a load of shops where all the scum bags hang out - setting fire to flats, glassing each other. The estate reminds me of something out of shameless.
