Shite house, shite car...

This is near me in Worthing. The entire front garden, from the edge of the pavement to the front window, was completely overgrown, to the point you could barely see the house. Somewhere I have a snap of that Vauxhall in one piece-and there is another car in the garage in front of it.

 

It was a well patina'd Standard Vanguard phase 3? which still looked quite solid, bound to have been cubed by the council though. :cry:

Ah, I could never get close enough to see it properly-I've not been past in a few months so I guess it's all been cleared now? Shame!

These were all taken about 18 months ago,so not sure if they're still there.I'll have a look next time I'm round that way :)

Pretty sure the one in the middle is an Abarth 750 vignale goccia. Concept car  worth about £400,000 in good nick!

Its the only Abarth Vignale 750 Goccia in the UK. One of only three ever made! Should be in a museum not a  driveway!

I'd say that used to be a petrol station, possibly even as recently as the 70s, with a workshop and maybe some kind of used-sports-car operation on the ground floor, all run by some spiv in a sheepskin coat and flat cap. Just a guess of course. :lol:

 

It's Lake View Garage, a well known Rover P6 Sanatorium run by Tom, a true artist and wizard.

He will also cater to other makes/models, if they take his fancy on that particular day.

The place is frequently frequented by the GGG and can be seen in many of our threads.

This, in Bucharest, is a long-time favourite. Crumbling villa on one of the most expensive streets in the smartest neighbourhood. With a bloody P6 in the drive! It's been there since at least the 80s - one wonders how it made it behind then iron curtain. I like to think of some hard-faced old Communists sitting inside dreaming of days gone by...
