Spotted Ordinary Abandoned Vehicles

[gforceg]

Pub car park in Gargunnock last year

Google maps suggests it was there and possibly in use in 2009

Hello everyone! After a recent 2 day struggle of being sick I thoroughly enjoyed reading through this entire thread, about time I also provided my own.
I do a lot of photography of derelict buildings so as you can imagine I come across a fair few abandoned vehicles. Here's 2 of my favourites:

Meadrow House Ka, abandoned in 2015 when the owner left the country and was unable to return for issues with her visa. After photos of her house spread online, she began complaining about it, never expecting her house to be forgotten about by friends and family. The house is now repossessed and the KA is scrapped

Coombe Park BMW, Sorn in 2007, the original owners of the coombe park mansion had to leave after being evicted for losing their money. This car was left behind, being only a few years old the mileage must be one of the lowest around today. House is purchased, car is probably scrapped.

Found this at the site of the ruins of the Sladnor park hotel in Torquay, south Devon.

Doesn’t look like it’s been moved in a few years, plates come back as being from a blue Subaru

I've passed a parked up Boxter most mornings for the past 4yrs.

It's got no plate on it, but noticed a few weeks ago the rear was jacked up and the wheels were off.

Passed it this morning and the front end is up and the rear wheels are back on.

Hopefully being put back on the road.

Looks like it's a private plate that was on the Vectra (which is about an '07 model) & it's now on a Subaru. Plate was never physically removed from the Vectra.

Why do I have to ask for permission to look at those photos?

No worries it's been fixed, didn't realise individual photos are privatised

Edinburgh seems to have a ridiculous amount of seemingly abandoned cars be it in drives ir randomly lying around... next time I'm in the area, I should really make a list but it'd be pretty extensive and range from a white Boxster to various old Volvo estates, Civic Type R, assorted MG ZR and a few old Germans and the obligitory Range Rovers. They're in a variety of locations too from car parts to council estates to new builds and oddly, some rather grand houses too.

Spotted this in Cardiff, flat tyres all round now

There’s also a R class down the road. Been there for at least a year but not on streetview

Good picture those! I find it weirdly interesting seeing a car being claimed by nature...

Where's that?

Not sure, the Youtuber does alot of exploring in Sussex, but I don't think the vehicles are located that way.

Being part of the same hobby we've spoken in the past, she mostly does Surrey and sussex but does travel about. Wasnt photographed for other forums so wasn't too important to her, might see if I can find it

Doesn't get much more "ordinary" than an early Mondeo. Had never noticed it before but it is very green and doesn't look like its gone anywhere for some time

Pair of Suzuki Cappuccinos - been sat in the same position for probably 15 years (Guernsey)

That must have been off the road for a while - Its the first one I've ever seen without a gaffer-tape rear bumper!

Is that an AstonMartin Lagona fading away on the left!?

Good spot. I'm guessing it's this one (from 2015). At least the 944 is gone now...

It certainly is, not moved for over 25yrs.

Wow. Really does make me wonder when you see driveways like that. Is it an owner that likes cars and just can't bare to part with them when the break down?

There is a guy not too far from me that has a driveway chockbang full of tatt, non working cars.. and a nice looking Lotus Excel amongst them. The house is as run down as the cars, just looks like a hoarder.

A couple of years ago, there was the most stunning Guards red air cooled 911 on the driveway, dunno where it ended up.
