Not sure if you're referring to it but that BMW I posted just up there is in Limone.

Top Fiat is a 125 from '67 - 72.



The frontless silver thing is a 1970/71 MS55 Toyota Crown, the red carcass above it looks like a Volvo 740 saloon. There's a white Jeep-a-like behind the Volvo.

Nice one Dapster, cheers mate. I did a youtube video on the visit. I got the "crown" right but not the model year, I mistakenly thought the fiat was a 131. Hope the mods allow me to post this one.

Indeed I was.
I thought the picture would be in my post.
I utterly love this resort.

I wasn't actually staying there.....smile

500 SEC. Doesn’t show up on DVLA vehicle check, I don’t think it’s been there very long based on Streetview

My first instinct was to wonder whether there is a body in the boot? paperbag

Dunno what I’ve been searching on DVLA then!

There is a bungalow opposite and the entire front yard is full of old pallets and driftwood up to roof height, there is a jeep in there somewhere too. Wonder if the owner also has the car.

I've posted a picture of this forlorn Ferrari a couple of years ago but it is still there gently rusting away.

It has not moved from this driveway for at least 15 years or so. I'd imagine it is almost worthless now frown

DVLA has it down as blue (many were originally) and not taxed since 2000. I assume it's a carb-fed 400GT. Hmm. Sat there for 19 years or so: what could possibly go wrong? biggrin

Looks like the rear end is losing the fight with gravity, unless its a funny angle on the driveway.
