Currently working on a photo story of abandoned exotic/interesting cars left to gather dust in underground car parks in the capital.

If you'd rather not publicise the location, PM or email me.

Cheers

I believe the Diablo has found a new owner ( a PHer too!).

The 360 I'm definitely interested in.

Must have walked miles around Chelsea, Knightsbridge, Mayfair and Belgravia. Seen some really interesting stuff as well. It beats paying to go to a motor show!

I had a look through that thread. Most of those cars seem to be in the States or Baghdad!

Hi,

Have you seen the thread I started over in General Gassing? "Supercars spotted, some rarities....."

There might be some interesting pics for you.

Hi,

It's actually an SE30 coloured Roadster. I bought the car via Amari shortly after the photo was taken I believe. The previous owner lived in central london. The car was not actally against the wall (thank heavens).
Here is how she looks today.

Ok so its not a Ferrari or a lambo, nor is it london, but i do know where this is sitting




allow me to explain on why this is a very very rare porsche
its a 1969 porsche 911E, now before 1972-3 porsche didnt galvanize the bodys,so all early porsches just rot out, rather quickly. This one hasnt, it was kept in a heated garage, moisture free all its life in the south of france. its completely unrestored, hasnt been painted, the only things ever changed were tyres(still filled with nitrogen) wipers, oil etc. As you can see it still has the stickers intact in the engine bay. last time i checked it was the only pre 72-3 porsche 911 known in exsistence in this condition unrestored.
unfortunatly its now been sitting for a few years in a garage in wales. the owner(a seriously top bloke btw) Died last year, it was left to his son, who couldnt care less about it, his wife is moving back to france i think, such a shame

i wish, cant afford it at the moment or get in contact with the person who keeps it. the original owner died, was left to his son, who left it in the garage. the bloke who died, his wife is a crazy mad french bint, who has truly lost it. i suppose i could hope it was registered in his name, apply for the documents, and take the car
