I posted pics of that Jag on here a couple of years ago. Sadly, I think it will need a brush and shovel to take it away 😪

A pity really, only 1,855 Jag V12 Coupes built.

On the Facebook post the chap said he drove it there and left it since 1987. He says no one has sat on it since then either, it’s never been started or moved. Shame as it’s probably only for for scrap now. Massive costs involved getting this to even a presentable state

Stately old SD1 returning to dust in Uxbridge. Check out the MOT history - surprised it's staying in once piece on the drive!

Found this in Dudley today, terraced houses and in garage behind a corner shop. It’s a convertible too.

What's going on with the MOT mileage as well? In 2007 it passed it's MOT with 5 miles on the clock?! In 2014, it passed with 6 miles on the clock?!

Must be broken. I’m pretty sure they had a six digit odometer and it didn’t do a million miles between 2007 and 2014

This old bus used to be a daily driver - I'd see it out and about with an old boy behind the wheel - flat capped with dog end hanging out the corner of his mouth, Then one day I noticed it in this state. It seems it was parked up and someone misjudged the central island and smacked into it, pushing it into the kerb. It hasn't moved for about 4 months.

The front wheels are facing different directions, and you can see the rest of the damage. Rest of the car looks straight and it's totally original - no horrid chrome arches, or stick on tints. Seems its next stop will be that great Mercedes Workshop in the sky.

It lives!!!! I drive this road pretty much every day and it has re-appeared.



Whoever repaired it forgot to put the n/s headlight wiper back on!

The old W126 I drive past has been in the wars again. First it had a heavy n/s impact before being repaired. Now it's languishing on the street with a o/s bump. Poor old thing...

That's one Hell of a bent wheel rim!

I'm amazed the the wheel is still sitting as central in the wheel arch as it is!

Spotted in an underground car park in SE London. MOT expired December 2011!

This caught my eye today, tucked down a very smart and expensive side road in Wimbledon....

Wonder how long it's been there... but it's still taxed and MOTd!!!!!!

Old enough to be exempt from both I think? So will always show as taxed and having an MOT.

It sits parked in the same space for months on end but he still uses it from time to time. Its mainly storage for his old chinese takeaway boxes! Its looked like that for years.

Aston that has seen better days and sitting in the open alongside A229 at Knox Bridge, Kent between Staplehurst and Sissinghurst. It sits in front of a single house called Thrift Cottage

I was passing thru, but if anyone knows more ...

I'm flabbergasted that the Aston has been left like that, it's still pretty valuable in that state. More valuable than a DB7 anyway.

The owner isn't interested in selling it, or even talking about it sadly. Hopefully it gets rescued one day.

In a secluded wood in Bonnie Scotland...

[Brads67]

Probably very little savable there
