My spots:
first:





1983 Transit van and Rover SD1 Vanden Plas EFi.

Croxley Green, Hertfordshire.
Just outside Croxley station. Watford Road.

According to toomany2cvs, these have been sitting since the early/mid 90's.

Second:




Volvo 440si. Untaxed since March 07. Has a "For Sale £50" board in rear window (just about visible in the street view image)
Registration: K43 WWL.

Bushey Mill Lane, Watford.

This bond bug has been there since at least 1996, and considering i would have been 8 at that point, it could have been there a lot longer as i don't remember much before that

No idea what the car under the sheet it... i wonder if PH knows?

What's the reg on the Bond Bug?
Then you can get a rough idea.

Been there nearly 33 years!

Good shot on the citroen SM!

Brilliant!
I bet we'll have another poster come along with a car untaxted from the 60's..

Here's another. The classic, has moved and is now covered in green moss, and the Skoda Felecia is gone.
No idea what the classic car is.

Here's an old primera that doesnt seem to have moved in a long time

I'd say it was a Morris Oxford or one of it's badge engineered cousins.

Nice to know, it's pretty neglected!

That Rover is a shame. I'd love a Vanden Plas EFi

Apropos this thread, there is a V70 Estate "abandoned" on the A20 between Swanley & Sidcup. It's in a lay-by on it's own, not near anything/any buildings, been there about 3 weeks now (assuming it still is, it was on Friday). I actually saw a DVLA van parked behind it one morning, which ws odd, I didn't think they were much interested in abandoned stuff as long as they have an address to send the SORN fine to?

Not sure.
We can't have a pic though since it's only been there for 3 weeks.
I think the cars in this thread are more of the neglected type, on owner's property, rusting away.

The red beamer recently vanished but the silver one has been there for as long as I can remember. Dunno the mindset of keeper, perhaps he thought one day he would get round to fixing them?

Looks like a serial broken BMW collector.
What's the reg on the silver one

This replica Countach (and replica E-type behind it) had been parked at this address for years from what I could tell.
They disappeared in the last few years so assumed scrapped or sold.

Found a thread on cliosport.net about that one.
VTF 684Y is a 1983 red 3.6 litre Rover 3200 coupe.
Looks too good to be scrapped imo, currently SORN.

This Volvo V70R has been sitting there with front end damage for years now

Reg?

The Volvo? I'll check next time I go past (probably tomorrow).

I know someone who says he was offered it to fix up but the owner wanted far too much money for it.

Thanks

A Rover 200 R8 of little importance in Orpington.

Has been there for many (>5) years.

Put the poor thing out of it's misery.
It's like a decaying grandma.

Penstowe manor?

If so they have been there since 2000/2001 I remember them when i worked there as a student doing the summer. Used to be a blue pickup one too.
