Not really spotted some of these http://thechive.com/2012/06/27/nice-cars-left-for-...
Just found on the internet.
That is a consolidation of piccies from loads of other sites! A lot of the cars on that thread were saved or were kit cars - some of them had really interesting stories behind their abandonment and subsequent restoration.Just found on the internet.

Very sad to see it in that condition, I remember this car from Steve White's ownership in the late 1980s. It had an under bonnet fire and he did a really nice rebuild on it. Had a couple more owners in the Yorkshire area before I lost track of it in the mid 1990s. Hope it gets saved soon.Oliver.

Appears to be very solid for a Fulvia that has been left for so long.![](https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7487/16114050498_4f2f8a790f_c.jpg)

Almost certainly, only other option is a Vitesse, difficult to know from that angle and amount of car showing.DarkMatter said:

The number plate light makes me think Vitesse, as does the boot lid which appears to be rusty where the aluminium/stainless steel decor panel would be, although it could also be a Herald 13/60. DarkMatter said:

I had the same thought about the rust where the decor panel would be but the top of the boot lid is equally rusty. Pretty sure the Herald 13/60 which has been under a cover in my Mum's garage for many years had the same number plate light.SilverSixer said:
Jesus, I can't even see a car in there at all! Where is it?
Immediately to the left of the green bush on the right of the photo, around centre, you can just see the C pillar, back of the side window and side of the back window. Vaguely RR Silver Shadow in appearance. Large wooden box/piece of furniture in centre left is on the bootlid.Gassing Station | Classic Cars and Yesterday's Heroes | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
