Really like this...

Back in the late 80s a kid at my school would get picked up each day by his mum driving one of these. It was red too with lots of Cherokee graphics. Have loved them ever since. I remember buying autorader as a kid (along with The Beano) each week and there being loads for sale regularly in the 'American cars' section.

I'm not sure what this is, some type of Mustang maybe?

There's something interesting hiding behind the A pillar of the Disco, in the middle of the frame. Any ideas? I thought maybe it's a modern Aston V8 Vantage?

If you look up RE Performance Centre on Google Street View there's a DB9 parked on the street outside the workshop, so it might be that.

Unbelievable that this 58 Cadillac series 62 Coupe de Ville has been left here to rot.....

Is that a '67 model year Thunderbird behind it?

Surely it can't just be left there to rot on the public highway - wouldn't it have been removed (is it still there now) without an MOT?

"WSJ 365" showing as insured on Askmid. MOT expired in '14 but going by the mileage, hasn't moved in since 2006 despite an annual ticket.

Think it is. I believe that belongs to the owner of the Caddy

Sure it’s parked outside the owners house.

It doesn't need an MoT, it just needs to be "taxed", which is at zero rate. Whether it's road worthy or not, or whether it's considered an obstruction as it's on the pavement, that's a different matter ( & authority )

It also needs to be insured if on a public highway

I bet his neighbours love him, dumping a rusty old relic on the street. Surprised it hasn’t been towed away by a mate with a truck or...........set on fire.
