The royal family of barges - S Class, XJ and 7 - a few houses apart in Nth London. All stationary for 5 or 6 years.
Is that where Mr. Morris lives from Friday Night Dinner?Edited by Dapster on Saturday 20th March 13:55

They probably just need a jetwash and some air in the tyres...

Reminds me of Stadium Way in Reading, which is packed full of rotting limos owned by a local garage owner who runs a hire business with some amusingly bad reviews...

I do quite like it when business owners give it some welly in their replies on Google reviews. https://goo.gl/maps/a56QwHAEwcndLVCo9
This one didn't disappoint! https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rl...
A few spots from my run yesterday
Merc has been festering outside for about 5 years - the house looks like it too has stood empty for a while
Next door but one, this Pug is in it's 6th year of being abandoned, and a Jag on the same drive hasn't moved since 2014
Both these houses are just off the Bishops Avenue - and are probably worth c £3 - £4m post "do up".
This has only been left alone for about 6 months but it looks like it has been mouldering for a decade!

Looks like an 18 plate? Blimey, that didn't have a very long run. I'm guessing the no smoking sign means some brief, and no doubt merciless, usage as an Uber (or similar) of some description?

The W126 at a pinch. The other two will suck you into a vortex of never ending electronic gremlins that will destroy your will to liveThey probably just need a jetwash and some air in the tyres...
This has been abandoned outside a house that looks otherwise immaculate and evidently well lived in and worth probably upwards of £8m. Stationary for 6 or 7 years, last MOT is an advisory free "Pass" with just 25k on the clock.
Across the road, a totally abandoned house of similar size and value with these 2 growing in the garden.

Walked a new route yesterday and stumbled upon some interesting abandoned cars!
Number one is these on a back road, very odd collection, with two completely hidden underneath a pile of old bush, the white one looks like maybe a 90s ford of some kind?
Then this very nice house on the main road, literally within 10 houses of the previous spot, I thought this was the front of the house from the above spot until I looked on a map at home and realised they are two different houses!
Then finally these two, parked in an open garage right by the street, looks like someone tried to put the bluebird back on the road a year after they were abandoned but didn't get very far due to the catastrophic MOT fail

Sierra SapphireThere's a few I know of local to me, had to go through Google streetview to confirm a couple were still there.
Lotus (Excel?) hasn't moved in at least a decade. On a row of relatively big / nice houses too, one of which had a yellow Diablo many years ago, always remember spotting it poking out of the garage when my dad drove past..
Likewise, this Elan has sat for probably 10 years too...
These ones, technically not abandoned (I think I've posted these before), they all belong to some classic car parts place / garage, but for as long as I can remember there have been old cars, trucks, buses, carcasses etc parked along this bit of road. I'm surprised it's been allowed for so long as it's a dual carriageway, not a parking space / layby, and I'd be amazed if all the 'vehicles' that are dropped there are taxed and insured
This is I remembered but haven't been past in a couple of years, Google tells most of its story though..
White Evo VII, 2009 is the earliest streetview image where it seems like it was still in use..
2011 it's flipped around, wheel clamped, plates removed, and accompanied by an Impreza...
2015, looks like it's just sat there gathering moss...
2018, someone must've given it a wash at some point...
2020, most recent, all the filth back on it and it's joined by an S-class..
It's just weird, they probably could've parted it out and recouped some money rather than just let it rot away like that..
I guessed the reg. from the first photo was 'M5 PGO' - came back as the right car, MOT expired July 2010 at 96k miles (though this could be kilometres if it's an import) - weirdly it never failed for anything serious, just mis-spaced plates, rear fog not working etc.
