Don't they have a ten year corrosion guarantee? Gotta be worth buying it just to check for the youtube views!
All those corrosion guarantees are dependent on regular inspections and not a single car I've seen, even when "dealer" serviced has *actually* had that section of the service book stamped!

Looks like it's in a giant dog cage, which might be appropriate.

Also, anybody on here remember the Esprit V8 and Porsche that were abandoned for years on Brick Lane (in the car park just under the bridge). Always wanted to know what happened to them.

I had a mk3 Mondeo that corroded on the door, and Ford fixed it without asking to see the service book.

I THINK one of the station staff owns it and has somehow managed to get the space for free. Don't know why as it's not moved in years and it winds up commuters as the car park is tiny and an extra space would be handy.

This one's odd: not high mileage, and relatively small MoT failure compared to the value of the car ... I wonder why it hasn't been on the road for a couple of years?

I spotted this today:



I only got a blurry picture in passing but it was very mossy!
It looks like it has recently been rescued

This one probably an older person not driving now. Been sitting a few years.


Anyone have a guess what's under here?

Not many clues and the front doesn't look long enough, but I open the bidding with Rolls Royce Silver Cloud / Bentley.

I'm going Morris Minor. Possibly with the wings missing.

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.
Is that like Jermaine Pennant's Porsche?

If I had obscene amounts of money I'd probably leave cars all over the place, preferring to drive than be driven, but then I'd mitigate the need to travel with multiple houses too

Another whole house in a expensive area left to rot, old Mg in the garage

Looks run down on street view 13 years ago so assume old person has died? Had a rover for a while
