2 Citroens, been there for years, don't think they've been moved at all. One of them was full of boxes and random stuff:

Don't these belong to a guy with a moustache and cigar who drives them like a loony? I seem to remember someone posting a few years ago about seeing him regularly.

This Rover 75 has been decaying outside this cottage in Whalley for a few years.

You can see in the 2009 Streetview image it looks tidy enough but seems to have gradually decayed in the same spot over the years.

Probably another case of someone elderly and unable to drive but keeping their car just in case they get back on the road again, even though the car is beyond use now.

This Peugeot hasn't moved from outside this house in Blackburn for as long as I can remember.

The house came up for sale a few months ago but there were no inside images. I don't know if maybe the owner of everything died years ago and nothing has been touched while all sorts of legal business went on to see who had a right to it.

Found some zoopla pictures of inner house with the Pug

I drive past these on my way home...



All looking slightly worse for wear now, though. Time and neglect is taking it's toll.

This bond bug has been there since at least 1996, and considering i would have been 8 at that point, it could have been there a lot longer as i don't remember much before that

No idea what the car under the sheet it... i wonder if PH knows?

What's the reg on the Bond Bug?
Then you can get a rough idea.

I walk past that on my way to the station! It's still there under a cover.

What a contraption. Poor thing!

[HJG]

Been there for at least 15 years. Complete with 'spare engine' behind it. The owner has now even put a note in the rear window advising that the vehicle is not a climbing frame.

EDIT: I am mistaken, for it does have MOT history until 2014

We moved on the estate December 1995 when it was new, these houses were moved into in early 1996, these cars arrived, and have not moved since. Used to look good as I would deliver newspapers to the house, never saw the owner.

Wow - I find it strangely interesting and want to know the backstory. Knock on their door and ask? ;-)

Saw this in Rhodes this year, pistonheads said it was a Ford something or other.



This one was in Kefalonia, the Greek islands I've been to seem to be full of abandoned cars, a shame really.

Think you'll find the Ford Taunus is in Kefalonia - outskirts of Skala. I remember the Rottweiler on duty.

I tried, I delivered papers to him\her for 3 years, never once saw them, always phoned up to pay their bills, never got back to me, curtains were never open, and no other car was ever on the drive or outside the house.

A nice Citroen left to rot in Luton:

A red MK1 MR2 rotting away for a few years now in suburban Stone Cross, near Eastbourne. I think the owner is reluctant to admit the rear end is beyond saving:

How strange. You never know what might be inside...

lada been there for years, slowly rusting away.

Sorry if it's been mentioned already, but that looks like an Integrale wheel on the back of that Lada!

This CX is now practically at one with nature. Spotted near Kilmainham in Dublin (streetview 2014):


And this was it during summer 2016 when I first saw it:

Not to mention this.

You amateurs... You're missing his other DS.

The SM gets moved occasionally, the 2 DS' and the BX seem to be in constant use.
The DS estate is often full of gardening equipment, I especially love it when it has the wheelbarrow strapped to the roof.

Here's the other DS to complete the set.

As all seen at the start of And & Dec's Saturday Night Take-Away! Roupell Street. I used to frequent the Kings Arms, lovely little pub!

Not too far from me in an abandoned old garage..

Been there for aslong as i can remember.

Rover, Maestro & Cavalier all left to rot away in there.

Da fk?! I'm more amazed that the land and 'building' have been abandoned! That's a decent sized plot that a developer could squeeze quite a few houses on to.
