Just moved into a flat in Westminster, W1, during the week after transferring my job to London. This is the view out my balcony:



This is the side view:



Rear view:



Last taxed in 2008. 116k miles. Interior not too bad but moss growing in all of the panel gaps. Porter says he has never seen anyone go to it in 5 years.

Anyone know it?

That'll be another appreciating classic then, if it sits there long enough it could even be a Low mileage appreciating classic !

Can you apply for the V5, and see if the police contact you ? if not it's all yours ?

It's probably stolen, and dumped, but nobody could be arsed to notify the police.

Probably owned by an MP and was abandoned when the expenses scandal blew up.

I'd find it impossible not to give it a wash if that was outside my window!

I would definitely clean it. In fact I'd start looking after it.

Isn't there a law that if you maintain something for long enough you become the lawful owner wink

can't you hand it in at a police station and if it's not claimed in a month it's yours ?

You have to wash it and bring it back to health.

It's near my work - I've been in twice to talk to the porter there - the owner lives in that block but will do nothing about it and will not sell it
Apparently it was immaculate when he parked it there 5 years ago!

What a tt

You should wash one side of the bonnet and polish it really well, so he can see what a tt he is. Go on.

That's a real shame. If the owner doesnt care about it, it'd be nice to e able to find them and make a reasonable off. Doesnt look too bad under all the crap.
