Number plate 1 RON. Worth a fortune. However, that plate registered to a BMW630 so presume it's been transferred or that's a "joke" plate.

I think this has a place here, it's the abandoned cars of fukuashima that will probably never move again. There are some classics in there as well as some more modern stuff. http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cac...

Radiation levels in/around Fukashima are about the same as any large city centre, and less than you'd see on a long haul flight.

I doubt many places around there will stay abandoned for long. There are places all over Japan with abandoned cars like that, its not isolated to that area.

A mate of mine bought one for pennies in the early '90s...

...How we scoffed at it.

1) I really would like one now.
2) He wishes he never sold it.

Sitting in a compound in Ardwick Green, Manchester.


Probably a lot rougher closeup, you can see the rotten nearside wing from here not to mention whats hidden under the tarp. There is another lockup compound nearby on Fairfield St which includes a MK10/420G and a rotten Silver Spur, difficult getting pictures in case you get asked for business by ladies o0f a certain profession!

My grandad had one of those in the late 70's - it was rotten as a pear then, god knows how that has so much metal left on it!!!
