Could be worth more than the house that it is parked next to.





Discussed here as well https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&...

Ratarossa's had a look at it. It's in quite a state and it seems like the owner will never sell it. All straight and original though - you'll need deep pockets to get it running again...

That one is just such a bizarre tale. There has to be a mental illness of some kind involved, and I don't mean that in a derogetory manner.

That is very sad, I'd clean that for free just for the fun of it, and I bet I'm not alone!

[Steamer]

Christ a Ratarossa-BB project would be about the ultimate Ferrari-recycle ever!!

[Kitchski]

Also, since when is a Fez 512BB an 'ordinary' vehicle?

[Steamer]

...In it's defense I believe it's parked next to an A-Series Metro - so it cancels out

Apologies all if this place has already been mentioned, but as I've posted about already i do a lot of abandoned house exploration, unfortunately for this one it fell into the wrong hands quickly and was smashed to pieces, this photographer sold out to The Sun letting everyone in the country know about it and it was smashed to pieces within a week.
I believe someone got photos of the plates so i'll try to find those, that silver car in the middle is a lotus of some type

I saw that on the Daily Mail (yes, I know) yesterday.

Hate to see it really, so many of these places get trashed from major media attention, this one smashed from one guy thinking a bit of money is better than a place vandalised and sprayed up. Really sad to see

I can't make head nor tail of the comments left under that video - So has Ratarossa bought it?

Its deliberately vague, my guess is he bought it

An Escort RS2000 4x4 spotted on a random wander tonight, it's apparently been off the road for 8 years.

Looks really clean if its been sat there for that long!.. although on close inspection it looks like the arch has gone and the door under the mirror.

Seriously rare now:

Old Rover near me, I can't remember it not sitting on this driveway ;

It still looks in good condition strangely.

Ratarossa hinted on his Instagram and Twitter, no reason he wouldn't have traveled back to watch it get taken, he must've bought it
