None of these have moved. I drove past them today. They are in a sorrier state, and covered in moss.

Anyway, I had my camera with me, so some highlights are below.

A seemingly abandoned E34 on a patch of communal grass. A lot mouldier than it looks in the pic.


A graveyard of the 90's and early noughties 'Crooz' scene.

Spotted this badly parked (it's in the middle of the rows, under the up ramp) in a car park in Portsmouth:



Looks like it's been there for at least two years with an impressive collection of spider webs to the ceiling.

This has been up the road from my grandads house in Dublin for literally as long as i can remember and it has never moved, i even asked my Aunties and they said it just appeared one day in the early 90s and sat there since. Its funny i never thought of it really as an abandoned van. It was just the van that was always there. Its a 1990 reg and aparently they think might even have been new when it arrived. Il try remember to get a proper photo of it next time im there it is hard to get street view on it.

I've seen a frontal picture of that land rover in the trees.

It's a 1948-50 Lights behind the grill model and worth a bloody fortune.
Easily £10k+ if it still has the V5 for the correct ID for it.

Guy has a few others, but won't sell them.

Shame really as it would be a nice project and is worth saving due to the values of them.

Spotted this scruffy yet genuine CSL a while back and took pics... while not abandoned per say, it was there for weeks:


















The SMG pump was shot, garage said they'd been trying to get through to the owner for weeks but no joy.

I think the owner used it as his run around and on food delivery jobs for a restaurant lol.

Not easily from that angle - it's an s2/2a/3 109", probably late 60s/early-mid 70s 2a or 3. Firmly at the lower end of LR values.

I would presume the moss-covered white Merc T2/Vario lurking behind the tree.

That's a shame , I was hoping I could buy it off someone who only speaks broken English for about 2p, drag it to the port and ship it home to sell to some addict for a million quid wink


It's missing... um.. doors... and as a result, the interior was literally FILLED with sand.

And these have been sat for at least 2-3 years

A Volvo 740 saloon, an old peogeot 405 and a mk1 mondeo i think, cant remember exactly as i havent been past in a while.
I think that house belongs/belonged to an old guy who was caught with a load of militaria, which turned out to be not as deactivated as he claimed. I recall the road being sealed off with bomb disposal trucks present when I lived there a few years back.
