Classics left to die/rotting pics - Vol 2

[Tyre Smoke]

Yes, but a P5B Coupé is a thing of abject beauty inside and out.

No MoT since 2010 … ripe for a modern resto …

Might be stating the obvious but that has taken a vandal's kicking , the bonnet isn't pushed in and the bumper is mostly intact but all the lights are broken .

Been without MOT for 11 years ,in 10 days time .

This used to sit behind the 405 on the driveway.

Now it’s moved to under the car port of the neighbours.

An unusual one to have survived.

A 2005 Maserati Quattroporte that has sat in our road for two months without moving. It’s got no MoT or tax on it … and has previous advisories for subframe corrosion hence its inclusion here. The owner lives a few doors down and it used to be on his drive.

Hi All,

I spotted these just yesterday.

My best guess, is that the one closest to the hedge, is a Jaguar or possibly, a Daimler.

Not sure about the other one though . . . . . . . any thoughts ?

That'll be dead easy for some of the ninjas on here. They'll give you model, year and designer's inside leg measurement before you know it.

The tractor looks very similar to one me and my mate use to drive about the farm so it could be a Ferguson TE20.

Lea Francis 14hp ?

[fourfoldroot]

This one definitely hasn’t moved for a while. Not sure if it is a 3500.

[Its Just Adz]

Forgotten S500.
Also, I had those exact wheels on a mk3 golf.

2005 - A classic?

Maybe not, but surely one of "Yesterday's Heroes"?

Is the 405 a fancy pants Mi 16? I drove one of those for a few days back when they were new - what a fantastic car. Supple, brilliant ride, very tight handling and strong engine. Only cornflake box build quality let the side down a bit but otherwise a top effort.

I wonder if it needs a new clutch, it can be an expensive job on these 2003 - 2007 due-select QPVs so it may have been left until the owner can afford to get it done.
