Boxster S, last MOTd in 2017 at 95k miles. Surprised it's still there as it and the fiesta next to it have been left in a small council owned car park.

Ha... That's clearly a regular Boxster 2.5 rather than the later 3.2 S variant. smile

I don't know Boxster model variants well, so the S badge was just added for show by the owner then?

I think so. That one is too old to be an S - the S started around 2000 so long after P-reg

Not entirely sure this is left to die, maybe it's being worked on.

That would be ideal for an EV conversion.......oh wait!
How about a Chevy crate motor?
Now you're just milking it.

I’ll vote for the Chevy motor if the heads have been semi-skimmed to increase the compression ratio

Deep in the forest by the north Devon coast are these two, required a 4 mile hike to access them.

I found a similarly abandoned looking landy a few months ago and took a picture of it...only to find out when checking that it had a current MOT. As it's now expired however I'm going to post it anyway!

I don’t know if this has been posted before, Triumph 2000 ? looking very sorry for itself, it’s at Toft Hill on the A68 County Durham. Apologies for the crap pic, I was driving my van very slowly creeping towards a junction. It’s been there at least 7-8 years to my knowledge. I’ve been meaning to post a pic for ages.

Interesting technique to obtain the “slammed” look: just drop two rocks on the bonnet.
