I parked next to this in Yate, north of Bristol today. Couldn't quite believe what I saw.

Has a ticket at least. It’s done 1500 miles in ten years!

The state of that suggests it's been parked for years ,the MOT history disagrees .

Low total mileage and also does very low miles per year so spends lots of time parked amongst green stuff .

That’s like my Dad’s old tip-run Volvo that lives in a holly hedge! They found a family of (deceased) mice in the ventilation system when he took it in for a service - which explained the rank smell last summer. The children aren’t impressed if I use it to drop them at school. biggrin

Can’t shake the feeling that the interior will smell like Brian Blessed’s underpants gusset, and that no amount of cleaning will ever completely get rid of it

Ironically, there was a hand car wash about twenty bays along from where it parked.

No need to wash it, just needs someone to go round it with a watering can.

Very specific smell is it?

To be fair, that’s quite a decent looking car for Yate!
