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.

D'oh, Just noticed that this has been posted already.

Sorry

Does the Polo move?

Nice bear.

The 7 Series is on early DB7 alloys.

This stretch limo had been in Sunbury on Thames for several years now.

The property doesn't look too good either.

'68 Plymouth Satellite near the Kingfield Stadium in Woking. From what's understood the owner has had a bit of a breakdown and there's no chance of buying it, so probably best to leave it if you were thinking about it.

This Land Rover 110" has been in this position for the 15 years that we've lived near Wokingham, with caravan in tow, gradually disappearing further into the undergrowth each year. It's in a reasonably prominent position so I'm amazed that it hasn't been snapped up by someone:



It's this Mercedes 250CE, next door to my sister-in-law's house, that's got me itching to do some front door knocking. Apart from being a bit green, it looks fairly tidy (from a distance) and complete. According to Google Maps, it wasn't there in 2008 but was in 2014:

Thanks!

Took me a moment to figure out how it'd been taxed so long after the MOT expired... Of course, it was a SORN (or two) that expired. Ah, memories...

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.

Definitely an import. UK-spec had lights in the rear bumper.

Clever clogs!

Another Supra, this one in Solihull near my mate's house, around the corner from mine. It's been there for a very long time. My mate said the owner left it there after something broke, he stripped it, sold some bits and then left it to rot. Such a shame!

Do we think the 7 series is a genuine AC Snitz?

Nobody wants the Landy, it's 110 feet long.

By the look of that front grill, it's pre 90/110 and might be a series 109" to my unskilled Landy beard

Here are the one's I see regularly



Pangbourne, Berks - There's a couple of Ford Cougars and a Rancho here too now!

I came here to post this! Live just around the corner, the Citroen has never moved in years, and the two cougars appeared over the last 5 years too.

I was also looking to see if this had been posted. Been driving for over 10 years and remember seeing this on the way to reading for years before that. Now the missus drives past this on her way to work and I ask every now and then if it's still there. No idea why it's been kept there for so long

These two Mercedes and Transit van have been sitting for a while. I first noticed them around 2007/8.

[FourWheelDrifter]

Looking in Birmingham, I easily found this Smart car. I bet the neighbours don't like this house all overgrown at all!

Always wondered this myself, amazing really that the first car was left to rot then more added over the years, wonder what the thinking is behind it?

Yeh, it's an s2 or early 2a.

Almost certainly the identity is boinging around on coilsprings now, free of tax...

I've got a few different spots for this thread. I'll start with this little collection.... The three on the right I've seen there for years.

I drive past this Audi A8 in Yardley Wood quite often, it's been looking like this for many years, sitting with the engine removed. It looks quite tidy otherwise, so must be a long term project.

That blue 2 door Jag is worth a bit now too!
