Spotted Ordinary Abandoned Vehicles

The two linked above are horrific, especially the Lada. What a state they are in!

Here's another. The classic, has moved and is now covered in green moss, and the Skoda Felecia is gone.
No idea what the classic car is.

Austin Cambridge
There was that and the Oxford (wonder where they got their names from)
One had larger tail fins than the other.
Then there was a VP and Westminster versions IIRC
They were current when I was a kid but even then I wasn't interested in them

Nice to know. Why would anyone keep an Austin Cambridge and them neglect it like that? Maybe bought in need of a [serious] resto.

Here's another angle.


Felecia is probably scrapped. They are a dying breed

what a find!
Although I may have found something similar...



A load of old JDM stuff, unregistered, abandoned.

There's a unit behind there that does lots of drift cars, these do move occasionally to be replaced by others. I used to work at Volvo Penta just opposite until we moved to Warwick.

Yes, the "legendary" tuner Garage-D.

my mate dumped his car on a car park, it was behind some old people bungalows. Was there for about a year before he sold it on.

I've walked past this for a good few years now, with it getting greener and greener with moss. According to streetview it's been here since 2009, pic is from streetview in 2014.

That must be one of the most modern on here?!
Those micras aren't that old.

This thread reminded me of the below Peugeot:



About 6 weeks ago, the owner parked it in the pub car-park right next to our house. He hasn't been back to it since. I have just checked the DVLA site and lo-and-behold the MOT expired 22.10.16 and the Tax at the end of November. I guess the owner has conveniently forgotten about it, rather than making any arrangements to get it back on the road or scrapped. It's the pub's problem now, of course.

There's a second part to this story. Several months ago the same car was left for a couple of weeks on our private road directly outside our house. There was a business card with a name visible on the dashboard, so I called the company and the HR lady informed that the guy had recently left the company, but that she still had his contact details and would pass on the message. Sure enough, a couple of days later he came back and drove the car away.

What sort of person just dumps their car on somebody else's property for weeks on end?

I've got a similar one.
Been here for a very loooong time.
Parked outside a pub too.

Not the best of pictures, but this was just up the road from where we used to live. It was there when we moved in 2009 and looked like it had been there a long time before.

That makes me sad. Like it's an old persons car outside a nice little bungalow and they're bed-bound inside, the car sits outside waiting to be driven to the seaside or somewhere nice.

What about this on the same street? Does it get used regularly?

Here's another that I drive past.

There's now an Aston Martin DB7, and TWO more examples of that Audi, all covered in tarps.

Shame about that Rascal but it keeps the value of mine higher

These haven't moved for along time...

Anyone know what the car is?
I think I've got the plate (YDF 251) but I could ve mistaken. Eurocarparts brings up nothing.

Find me a 1-3 yr old modern popular car which has been properly dumped, e.g covered in moss and not moved an inch in those years and then we'll see.

Have a walk around the underground carpark in Casino Square, Monaco and you'll see plenty which haven't moved for years. Keep meaning to have a walk around there with a camera - from memory there's an abandoned V12 Vantage, Audi A8 and X5 4.8.

What about, a normal person's drive?

Just have a scroll around. It will soon come to you.

An alleyway, off Gordon Road, West Bridgeford

Never mind, it's an Oldsmobile tornado.

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:

Having a Micra and a trailer outside devalues that house

Been there since 2009 or longer, looks like it may have still been in use
