On Thornton Avenue between Clapham and Streatham Hill. The car and house look equally shagged. It is a reminder however that the once-ubiquitous gaffer tape bumpered Mondeo is fast disappearing from Britains roads

Fiat Brava parked on the large driveway of a house on one of the most expensive roads in town. It's been there for at least 8 years according to Google maps. Has some mould on it and the tyres are now flat but otherwise it's held up incredibly well. House is otherwise very well kept so god knows what the story is with it.

There must be something about Croxley Green!

Getting a bit sad to see and pass this regularly this year. Looks abandoned, yet taxed and MOT'd....

Croxley is quite an upmarket area compared to Watford..
Yet all the rotting cars seem to be there! Nearly every post from me has been from Croxley.

I'm not sure about your definition of "upmarket". I've lived here since 2003 - perhaps it was better until I moved in .... scratchchin .... paperbag ...

Anyway, vehicular version of Bermuda Triangle ?

I haven't got a picture but driving past the Angel of the north towards Gateshead/ Newcastle there is an old Mini Van that was converted to accommodate a wheelchair parked outside a house for donkies.

On the back of it there is a number plate that reads not for sale.

I bet it's been stood for twenty years.
Look on street view, really want to see smile
Spotted it.

Annoying it's not there on the actual street-view next to the house...

More affluent area - don't need to sell the shed when the new car arrives? earning too much money and too busy to start the project restoration that they always promised it?
Oh hang on - it's a dub.

Supra abandoned in Kings Langley.



I've spoken to the owner's wife regarding buying it. She said her husband would be in touch but never was. I've been told he has a sizable collection of cars and before the Supra was left in this spot a Ferrari he owned was left there.

Supra abandoned in Bedmond.



I've tried many times to contact the owner to no avail. Sadly he's known as a recluse so can't see the car ever moving or being sold now.

Supra abandoned near the London Eye.



This hadn't moved for years until circa a year ago when it disappeared.
Just had a little re browse as I have a car to post on to here....
The top Supra is back on the road! Wahey.

I'll post a pic of an old Toyota Carina soon..

This S3 hasn't moved in a while, I noticed around xmas it had a flat tyre.
Both passenger side tyres are flat now.
Not sure how old the google maps image.

Will try and grab the reg number soon.

That's odd... it's a high value relatively new car with clearly some mods on it.

At one point it was looked after, it's a bit of a wreck now. Bits of arch rust, peeling "wrap"
Their is also a modded BMW parked in front, that looks like it hasn't moved in a while

I will try and get a photo tomorrow.

At a wild guess, i would think the owner may be taking some 'time off'.
