Classics left to die/rotting pics - Vol 2

[Pericoloso]

RX7 qualifies as classic in my book.
Rare in period ,way rarer now.

not sure if this is classed as a classic yet, being a 96 car, but i believe they are relatively rare and its definitely rotting!

That's a genuine UK model, too, so incredibly rare as they only sold circa 150 models in the UKDM

You can tell as UK models were one of the very few markets that had foglights cut rather as an afterthought into the rear bumper and the long numberplate aperture. All other markets just had a square nunberplate well and no foglights

I don't think I've posted this Alfa 155 before.



Parked near a house in remote Tuscan hills.

[Veeayt]

Probably a getaway car

More broken down and left rather than tow it away

Someone needs to save that. It doesn't look too far gone yet.

I just don't understand how many people let cars corrode away on their driveway like that.

Been off the road since 2011 but passed its last MOT. Presume the wankel engine died

That hardly looks like it's rotting or been left to die.

Oops, my apologies. I clicked on the photo and saw the reality.
I'll check before I post, in future.

Surprising given what they’re fetching these days, even if it’s a rough one.

Looks like a "sporty" maestro in front of it

I doubt it from the era of cars with 5 digit odometers.

I was going to say Maestro Turbo, what a double waste, I always wonder why these situations arise
