Spotted Ordinary Abandoned Vehicles

Well done to my Canarian “executive private transfer” driver. It was in quite good nick actually inside and out.

I was surprised at just how many miles private hire vehicles/taxis rack up on the Canary Islands considering their relatively small size. No more than 12 months after the Mk4 Astra was released I had one as a taxi in Tenerife, already had 190k kms on the clock.

Looks more like just overgrown lawn onto the drive. The car looks clean?

The ordinary bit is also possibly a bit dubious.

Car was last MOT'd 13 years ago, have walked past both the car and wall over the years falling into a state of disrepair.

[Shnozz]

Interesting wall that too.

[smithyithy]

Wall looks like it could be pushed over by hand

[NFT]

plate could be worth more than the car & pay towards wall..

Perhaps they are simply waiting for DVLA to process there plate retention/transfer,

This hasn't moved for at least 6 months...

I haven't seen one in years! Parents had one back in the day and it was brilliant.

You just know that would start on the first key turn too.

A RHD Chrysler Grand Voyager (on Spanish plates) that has been driven out here to the Canaries, but now looks like it has been left to die here in the Lanzarote sun!

Best thing for it, horrible things

A random 13plate C63 AMG has been what looks like abandoned in the visitor parking bay near my house. Its been there for 4months now untouched. Tax and MOT have both expired, it is still insured on AskMID.

It looks in decent condition and low mileage (from the car check service) from the last MOT.

Seems such an odd car to just abandon and leave?!

Its not bothering any residents and the people who live closer to it dont seem bothered or concerned, its just odd.

This is slowly being claimed by the bushes, been there for a couple of years I think. Someone used to come with a set of jump leads every few months, start it, bounce it off the limiter a few times then leave again but it's not moved.

Owner doing time at Her Majesty's pleasure perhaps?
