Spotted Ordinary Abandoned Vehicles

[BigBen]

This Ford Fiesta has been at this spot in Forden for a long time now, I have a vague idea that it has moved in the last few years but will have to check.

Old Escort mk 5 I believe.

This is from 2009 and it's still there now. I'll see if I can get the reg next time I pass it

Bit weird isn't it? It actually looks like it's in not bad nick under all that.

This one used to be a proper scrapyard / repair place back in the 70s. Bloke that ran it was massively into banger racing.


What's that at the back with the strakes on the rear window? Another Lotus?

This is about half a mile away from the MG Owners Club HQ



Been there for 20 years!

One of our neighbours. These old pics don't do it justice but at the last count 2x trucks/vans, 2x camper vans, 6x cars (two running), 1x motorcycle. They keep breeding!

I'd say it was a Morris Oxford or one of it's badge engineered cousins.

Definitely. MO or Austin Cambridge but certainly one of that family.

'60s plastic special bodyshells on Ford mechanicals - a whole stack of small manufacturers to choose from.

On the way into Thanet at the end of Manston airport runway there is a strange house in the tree surrounded by old mercs, Volvos, jags. Looks like the guy buys old barges, runs them till they break and buys a new one, leaving them one by one to rot away. Have heard he was a famous wrestler in the 70s?

That little lot has been festering there since my ex wife was at University in Canterbury in the late 80s. He had a big thing for Saabs at one time.

Find me a 1-3 yr old modern popular car which has been properly dumped, e.g covered in moss and not moved an inch in those years and then we'll see.

Have a walk around the underground carpark in Casino Square, Monaco and you'll see plenty which haven't moved for years. Keep meaning to have a walk around there with a camera - from memory there's an abandoned V12 Vantage, Audi A8 and X5 4.8.

Dublin airport, old carpark connected to Terminal 1 via the overhead walkway. There were a good few dusties sitting there when the bust came. 'Owners' presumably in Oz

Picture doesnt quite show it but this mustang has been sat here for well over 10 years, was the home owners son's I believe. Was a project that never got completed! Not the greatest looking mustang but still a massive shame to see it die a slow and painful death. (Believe its a Triumph Stag under the cover too)




The below is just round the corner, again been there for 10+years. Not too sure what this is, a Triumph maybe?
