Spotted today. Apparently this is part of the large collection sold to Jaguar / Tata last year. The 'better' cars were stored in various barns but I don't think it was appropriate to take pics. I saw well over 100 cars ranging from a mint Metro automatic to an Aston Lagonda.

Did you mean to leave all those other photos on there?https://flic.kr/p/Gb8AeB

Looks like a Lexus RX300
I wonder what happened to the rest of it. Also the question needs to be asked how long was it there before it got stripped. I certainly wouldn’t park my car anywhere near thereI'm guessing that the location is either North Finchley or East Finchley, judging by the Big Yellow Storage premises.

The Vauxhall didn't look too bad and certainly could be saved

Oh crap – I'm going there tomorrow. 
It's the Vue car park on the A1000 opposite the Big Yellow. As it's only a couple of miles along the A406 for me, I could probably get the CX and take a closer look. I don't think the car park management would have carted these two away that quickly.Meanwhile, somewhere behind my office in Ealing is this mouldering heap:
It's a V12, but not the HE variant. In the six years that I've been working in Ealing, it has never been moved and has steadily deteriorated. DVLA says it's been SORN'd but frankly you'd need to be made of money to try to put it back on the road. All of the exterior panels are rotten, but the wheels, glass and interior are probably worth something. It's been off the road for so long that the MoT database has no record of its last MoT.

Oh yes it is It's a V12, but not the HE variant.
HE was late 1980 until the Ford facelift came along although the HE badge was dropped late '87 or so when the lattice wheels and thin coastlines arrived. SORN is the best thing for a shagged old XJS - as you say, it's scrap.

Fancy guessing what it is/was?
GT6?
That engine and gearbox has a value as well - might be overdrive.
