That 'preserved' Rover dealership is ace.

 

I also never tire of seeing those dusty motors on that weird stepped forecourt thing. On StreetView it looks fugging ace!

[Lord Sterling]

WOW! I really WANT that 'Rover' dealership sign.

 

That 800 is really getting on my nerves sitting there not being bought, I am very tempted to just get it, I just dont have the space

[George-Roper]

There must be a few more around the uk but how much longer can they sit there

[Morgan84]

There are a lot of forgotten vehicles like that lurking around which should be moved along to new homes,and put back into use;sadly I fear many sites will eventually get bought by developers who will pay for a 'site clearout' meaning they send the local scrap metal merchant in to load the lot up and bridge them. I would think though tracing the owners of the vehicles may be a bit tricky.

Not much time left for this one - bet the signs etc get skipped.

[Lord Sterling]

I saw that Beetle the other day outside a restaurant on the Hagley Road. Must go and get some pics of it at some point.

[Angrydicky]

That high roof Spacevan is something else. GR8 4 crosswinds.

[Mr Lobster]

Is that Beetle outside TGI Fridays (or next door) somewhere round Edgbaston? Think I have a pic of it on my old phone.

Yes it is, on the Hagley Road in Edgbaston. Never noticed it before.

As appalling as that custom Xantia clearly is, I'm always happy to see another picture of it with yet another coat of paint. There appears to be two of those Sandringham Rangies too, I spotted this one at RAF Waddington last year that has a different reg but the same livery.

Brilliant spots as ever Rootes. I see you've been down my part of the world, I too spotted the Moggy Van some time back:

Good work! I recognise that Scirocco, I think it was on Ebay recently.

That Escort looks a bit precarious there jacked up about three feet from the kerb! Hope it got moved pretty quickly.

[Tetleysmooth]

I'd love to get my mucky paws on that Royale.

[trigger]

That Escort does look very dodgy on the axle stand! Looks super clean too, lovely! Nice to see the Altos also.

That's amazing.  Is it on Ebay or summert at the moment 'cause I'm sure I recognise it?

Don't know - pictured it in Leicester. I have put these pictures on facebook a few days ago so you may have seen them there.

[vulgalour]

Built by Paul Bacon, the car is named Cosmotron.

Apparently, he's also responsible for the black custom based on a Citroen BX called Dualatron.

[Guest rootes_arrow1725]

Correct - that BX / Black beasts picture is one of mine too. He also helped his neighbour with his Xantia
