Spotted Ordinary Abandoned Vehicles

[Bradley1500]

Some more local to me:



I believe this was abandoned here to stop people driving on the field behind. Still looked strange when driving past.







These are both abandoned behind a garage local to me. The garage had a few nicer classics too, I never did ask what the plan was for these two.



This was stored at a scrapyard in Birmingham. The owner of the yard said he was going to restore it one day. I've never been back to see if he has or not.

Agreed it looks like one those Austin Cambridge Morris Oxford type cars.

Yep, actually on closer inspection you could be correct.

Nothing interesting near me apart from an abandoned Kia Sedona. 77,000 on the clock - 4 flat tyres and way out of tax and MOT. Ive left A note on the windscreen before now asking the owner to give me a knock if hes interested in selling... Note has gone and motor still there. I've asked a few neighbors as the car has been there for quite some time and it belongs to a guy who live sin the street but doesn't answer his front door and no one sees him but it has been said that if the Sedona is to go the Caravan next to it is to go with it. Not on street maps as its in a private car park at the end of my street - last images on google maps was 2012 when the car park was wasteland.

I pass this place fairly often, near Whipsnade...

I was going to post this...

There's also a Nissan 350Z on the same road that's had a for sale sign in the window and hasn't moved in at least a year.

Such a shame to see some of the vehicles on here in the states that they are in.

If only V5's could be applied for and vehicles restored properly... I'd like to do it with that Sedona at end of my street but I couldn't get hold of the keys.

Use to think this was an old Lotus either Excel or Eclat, but it looks to be more of a kit car in this photo. Never seen it move from this spot.

That looks like an Adams Probe - as seen in Clockwork Orange

A poor old Silver Shadow II near Bush Hill Park station, Enfield EN1;

The state of this is far far worse it looks like in this picture.
Walking distance from the pub ridden S320.

Bit weird isn't it? It actually looks like it's in not bad nick under all that.

given how far the wheels are sunk into the mud I'd guess the floor will be sat on the ground and the whole underneath will be rotten.

Depends, I dragged an E38 740i out of a field that had sunk into the floor to its floorpan. When I got it back and looked underneath and it's mint, been preserved

Been there for at least 15 years. Complete with 'spare engine' behind it. The owner has now even put a note in the rear window advising that the vehicle is not a climbing frame.

EDIT: I am mistaken, for it does have MOT history until 2014

This Ford Fiesta has been at this spot in Forden for a long time now, I have a vague idea that it has moved in the last few years but will have to check.

Another one not a million miles.


Taxed and MOT'd but I've never seen it move and it always is full of crap.


Date of first registration: 06 July 1999 suggests it's imported - it's M reg.
It's a Pajero Turbo Intercooler 2800.

Found this in a corner of a field near our house on our Sunday walk this week, it was next to a trailer that appeared to use an Austin 7 front axle. The artillery wheels must make this quite old - any ideas?

Wouldn't say 'abandoned' on those, the bloke is regularly in the garage they're parked in front of, they just never have (or will be by my reckoning) be fixed.

The Stag looks like it's being humped by a giant cartoon frog.

This C5 Corvette has been on a prominent driveway in Surbiton for a good few years. Only once about 4 years ago I went past and it wasn't there. Such a shame as it looks in decent nick but I wouldn't touch it with someone else's barge pole.

This had been here since at least 2003. I haven't been past for quite a while now so don't know if it's still there.
