I will upload pictures later but in my work we have a Ferrari dino that hasn't moved in over a year maybe longer and a MGB what hasn't moved in about 2 years. Both looking a bit worse for wear.

There's also a Gordon Keeble but that does have an owner but sounds lovely

sounds interesting, especially that Dino.

If the Maserati is for sale, I'd be very interested.

My mistake its not a Dino but a 308 GTS . The lotus has a home we just store it the Maserati they are looking to sell so hasn't moved is over 2 years but still gets serviced. The Gordon Keeble is a show winner at Goodwood. And there's also a F Reg 911 turbo.

Not really left to die or rot then

Any pics of the MGB - is it beyond a re-shell???

One for Monsieur Le Garlick ,parked in a front garden in Surrey.

There is also a military vehicle left to gather moss.

Can anyone give me an address for this G Wagen and if it's still there, I fancy having a look at it

Cheers Gordon

sorry this one, anyone know where in Surrey I can find it

I often cycle past this place. Lots of interesting metal. It's Rockshaw Road, Surrey. However, I wouldn't say anything there has been abandoned - this is a residential home and some sort of car enthusiast living there.

And is the G Wagen still there?

I'll try to have a looks soon chaps!

Can anyone tell me if this G wagen is still there? I don't want to drive 300 miles to find it's gone.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can drive past
Regards Gordon

According Mike Brewer of Wheeler Dealer fame very sought after urban cool etc? can't see it myself.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!!

A 308 and a 3200..... I'd love either of them as a project to return to full glory.

AC Invacar

That's an interesting shout. I've just noticed the single central seat - I thought that was a prop shaft on the ground but I think it could be part of the seat frame. The roll hoop could be part of someone's joke attempt at a fun car for messing around on private land or w.h.y. - take the roof off etc.. The rear bodywork would fit your theory.

[72twink]

If it's a propshaft then the power goes forward because you can see the fan shroud on the engine in the boot, Invacar had a light hoop in the roof, the dash is right and you can just about make out the steering spectacle/handlebar.

It's been a while since I saw one of those. ^^^^^^^^

I do doff my cap to some of you guys and your ability to discern a model from a head bolt or tyre thread.

[dycecooper]

I found it on Facebook in amongst photos posted by a group called Abandoned Scotland, mostly buildings but also some scrap yards too

[uk66fastback]

You can't own one now I thought - the spacwagon - they all had to go somewhere and be melted down I thought ...

Alwyas used to see them at Coventry's ground in the early 70s over by the corner flag ... Coventry's kit was the same colour - maybe they looked to have more men on teh pitch ...

I came a cross a load of intersting cars on a farm yesterday:

XJ6 Coupe


Fiat 130 Coupe


NSU Prince


Lancia Fulvia 1.3



Austin Westminster and Morris Minors


Lancia Fulvia, Lanci Flaminia, Mini, A35(?) Imp, etc.


Commer lorry (race car transporter) and Lancia Beta Coupe


Imps


All obviously too far gone, but I did find a Hartwell Stiletto Imp in reasonable condition buried under stuff in a barn - no pictures.

What a great shame, where is this farm? Are any of the cars available to buy do you know?
