Classics left to die/rotting pics - Vol 2

Surely that Dino was only good for parts? Even if it was restored, in what sense would it be the same car and therefore original? $132k is a bit steep for my tastes for what amounts to a pile of rusty scrap metal.

Shall we have some trucks for a bit of variation?

Old Stag I’ve seen before. This one has rust in the same places mine had 35 years ago, when it was 12 years old! Boot lid shot, sills, rear valance etc. Will never see the road again probably even though it’s a fairly early car.

5-series ... last taxed in 2012

Triumph 1500, again been standing a while ...

Local firm have a couple of these Citroen H type things lined up in their yard as they do conversions into food vans ...





This latter one is a flatbed though, not seen one before. Whether that is in itself a conversion from the standard van I have no idea ...

Each of those cars were probably more expensive than that house when new!

How does the owner even get to the front door?

Where is it?

Its in Morden,
They were probably acquired 10+ years ago for scrap value to smoke around in and then they felt it didn't matter that they were left to die on the drive. "I'll fix them one day and the Roller is good for weddings" Then the next thing you know Range Rovers are £50k+ and mine must be worth that so I'm sitting on a gold mine. So when you knock on my door to buy one for its real value I'll tell you to sling your hook 'cos one day I'll restore them. No you won't, they'll still be there in another 10 years sunk a bit further onto your drive!

Stubby Bob episode was epic. How they didn’t at least end up in A&E was a miracle.

Spotted in a field in Corsica today. Near a main road but Miles from anywhere.

Kawasaki team green motocross van. Bet there are some interesting stories in its history and wonder how it ended its days in this lonely spot.

Untaxed for a couple of years - although it sits on the road ...



Outside John Prescott's house ...



The beige one is currently taxed and MoT'd though ... the other one not MoT'd for a couple of years.

Around the corner from me! The pick up is seen around quite often...used to have a Dodge Dart as well and the Defender is also theirs I believe. That Jag hasn't moved for ages.

Round th e corner from me also. The Ford pickup was until recently (possibly still is) used by the owner for his business. He once delivered a Christmas tree to me in the back of it! Can confirm it retains a nice fat V8...

The XK appeared to have its blistering bonnet resprayed not that long ago so may still be cared for. XJ is used quite regularly.
