abandoned how? looks clean, windows look clean. No accident damage. I can only think that it was parked in a bad spot?

This is a weird one, it's been there years with the damage, I see it in the morning when walking the dog:



It was registered February 2018, it is SORN'd but there are no MOT details, meaning it has never been MOT'd, likely meaning it has been there since before it needed an MOT so this pretty non descript and distinctly average Suzuki hatchback has sat there for at least 3 years, very strange, why not just scrap it!

I'm going to guess at an elderly driver, pulled out on someone hence the front damage, so shocked by the experience he/she no longer feels confident to drive, but also can't bear to part with their link to the freedom of the road.

I'm guessing left on public or council land with no tax or mot. Council leave a sticker on with 7 days to remove it or they do it for you.

Insurance issues? My sister-in-law had a crash in her Fiat 500, but she could not get rid until the claim was sorted, it took ages for one reason or another... So I was told anyway!

There has been couple of derelict Mercs there for many years, always wanted to save one of them. Looks sad for itself when it comes into view as you go up the hill.

Shame - looks like a phase 1, 6 cyl 280SE. They love to rust so the tarp in the foreground probably has more structural integrity...

Sadly I think you are correct on both parts, RIP.

This has been stationary since 2008!

What is more unbelievable though is that someone at some point has decided to turn the front room of a Victorian semi into a garage!! There must be almost nothing left as inhabitable space on the ground floor.

Not to mention what seems an out of kilter pebbledash to Bentley ratio.

They moved production to Slovenia as I recall, badged them 5 campus and it slotted in below the then new Clio. They did same with Clio2 when Clio3 came out I think. Happy to be corrected though

Hemingbrough. Was parked on the road outside for ages then moved down the side of the house a couple of years ago.
