Yes, it's a 348 cabrio. The guys has a few nice curios including an XJS, and this 560 SEC wideboy

An interesting garage then.

There's this classic Range Rover that hasn't moved for a fair few months near me now. Less than a year but hasn't budged an inch. Right outside a garage too, no idea if it's waiting for repairs or what though.

Someone took it in for work and never came back to pay?

Whereabouts is that?

Three abandoned silver MGs, along with a roadworthy TF. The ZT was/is the V8 version!



Also in London this BMW has been here for well over a year: https://goo.gl/maps/tTHq4MehCBFS9hrr7

This has been sat on a trailer near my gfs house for a long time.
Drivers window down so interior will be trashed because of all the rain.

No idea why the picture isn’t right way up.

Still there today!

I was wondering if this one would be posted, I pass it nearly every day on my commute... there's also a fairly well abandoned Austin Cambridge (or the Morris or Wolseley badge equivalent) about 2-300 yards further out past the Two Poplars pub...

Its been there for ages ! I used to commute to college in Reading in the late 90s and it was there then. Shame, it was probably rescuable for a while.

Clapham Junction?

[untakenname]

MOT and tax expired 8 years ago, surprised the tyres still have air in them or that the car hasn't been removed.

There is a stunning citroen DS in high lane near stockport ,
just begging to be renovated

Yes; the photo is from late 2018, although you can still see it on Streetview from last year.

LPG conversion too? I'm looking at the thing on the OSR bumper.

Does this line from the tax check site mean it's recently been bought / sold?
"Date of last V5C (logbook) issued 8 May 2019 "

[V8fan]

Or a change of address, that would require a replacement V5c. But it would NOT add an additional owner on the list, despite what I see frequently in car sale listings.

I ride my bike passed this small holding on a regular basis and Ive seen all sorts outside.

I reckon he has about 30-40 cars. Some on the drive, some in a field before the house and some in the woods to the right as you look at it.

On street view just change the year and you will see - also visible from satellite - I've seen some nice cars there, all seem to be work in progress.

There is a BMW 330Ci and a 944 both rotting yards from my house too.

I thought that.

Looks like a tidy set up.

There is a house / cottage which you'd swear was abandoned apart from the wheelie bins move and there is sometimes a light on in winter.. probably 10 knackard cars parked in a row outside - nothing changed in 10 years on streetview, apart from one vehicle was replaced with a Lotus Excel at some point.

I just can't get my head around the mindset of the owner.

I won't post a link just in case the Lotus attracts the wrong attention + its quite an isolated location.

Anyone know what this car is? The white one behind the gate.

I'll guess at a Rover 200
