Could be a one owner from new car with less than 10,000 miles on it, so it would be ripe for "restoration" 
If it was a VW Camper or an Escort Mk1 it would be on ebay as we type...Oliver.

If this was abandoned in London wouldn't it be covered in parking tickets and or towed away
Looking at the green moss/dirt that has collected perfectly around the car, I'd say it hasn't been moved for quite a while! A quick google of: "Ferrari 456gt abandoned in Knightsbridge" reveals this: https://www.flickr.com/photos/28370466@N05/1672334...
Saying that though, I'm sure some authorities would take great delight and make a big public display of crushing a Ferrari to demonstrate to others what can happen if you don't tax your car!

The story of the buried Ferrari Dino found in late 1977, early 1978 was a mystery. The house in Los Angeles had kids playing in the mud of the front yard and the story confused even the most inquisitive of enthusiasts. The owners of the house had only lived there for 3 months and the due to finance being with a bank, the insurance could only say that the payout had been made to The Bank Of America. After finally doing more investigation work a motoring journalist had found the original owners from Nevada had went out for a anniversary dinner and used the valet parking, only to return and find the car gone. The story of trying to sell it and only getting around $9000 for it from a young mechanic only makes it more interesting as the car has since disappeared again.

That is a very old story. The Dino is alive and well in the States and has the apt registration DUG UP.

Ok, maybe not a classic but probably very rare now (I identified it from the door handle & headlamp surround) and shows what happens when you leave a car next to the Irish Sea! Curiously it was also a good 400 yards from the nearest dirt track.
Re the Beyonce pic: shouldn't that be in the "using the missus to sell the car" thread..?
