Dumped cars in your area

Yes-I've seen that Minor as lived just around the corner from it.

This Dolomite is on Acorn Avenue off London Road just in case we haven't exhausted Braintree's hopeless cases. Also there's a overgrown garden of vans up Skitts Hill but nothing old enough to be interesting to me so I never bothered getting a picture. Yes, I know we've had this photo before..

Or the fucked-looking G-reg Subaru estate at the Coggeshall Rd end of Hay Lane North. That hasn't turned a wheel for a decade to my knowledge. OK, I'll stop now..

My brother used to live in the bungalow on the corner of Skitts Hill and Orchard Drive. The bloke with the garden full of vans had a garage at the back of my brothers garden, and that had a Vito buried in the brambles for years.

The bloke owns the very busy van sales place in  Bradwell on the A120 between Braintree and Coggeshall

That explains a lot, most of them look like scrappers! I think my uncle knows him a little, I'll have to ask

I passed a fucked and abandoned looking Subaru Imp yesterday on Aqueduct street in Preston. Missing lots of bits, but there are a few backstreet garages round there so it may just be "resting".
No photo as I didnt have time to circle back and stop. Might swing by today on my way to the nick.

Woodgate, Birmingham;

Strangely the numberplate doesn't show on DVLAds. Streetmaps shows an earlier image where it looked recently parked up, clean and with its proper Vauxhall wheel trims. Now it has a massive dent in the drivers door and wheel trims and wing mirror cover are missing.

[Lankytim]

Maybe the plate has been taken off and it's on retention?

 

I've heard that the price for scrap cars is at a bit of a low point so hopefully our sport of snotter spotting will get a much needed boost with extra abandoned shitters.

That look unusually unrusty for a sprinter

[Lord Sterling]

Jaguar Sovereign 4.0 originally registered in Dudley so not travelled far. Probably been here for a loooong time as I can't see it's last MOT.

Nissan Sunny last MOTd 2015.

Yo any of you essex chod spotters, I saw a black B reg Orion 1.6 Ghia that has literally sunk into someones front lawn this morning in East Tilbury, along Princess Margaret Road.  Annoyingly I didn't have my phone on me, but if any of you essex shiters happen to be down that way its well worth a look, it has badly faded and gone green in places, Must have been there a good 20 years judging by how much the wheels have sunk into the grass. Local 'YTW' plates too.

[bunglebus]

My work's based not far from there, I'll try and check it out. Got a list of stuff to go back and pap when I get time 

[ProgRocker]

A fairly modern Tranny:

Wow! Looks really good under the slime too

[catsinthewelder]

I think I watched the rainbow coloured beetle being painted at a VW show.

 

Closer to home

Quite ambitious levels of loosing a Vauxhall

[Wingz123]

Has it actually been dumped that? Or have they just grounded out and got it stuck....?

Smashed front screen is a bit odd....probably hit a pigeon at 70

This is the side with windows intact.. 

[bunglebus]

This one's just appeared - no number plates

That's to prevent it from being towed away for no tax. If they are unable to read the vin number or the reg plate they have no way of checking if it is taxed or not

Or maybe they're just waiting for new plates to turn up from Romania,  after which the car be on the move again....

[Split_Pin]

It's got alloys from an SE2 model MK4 Coupe and flatblade wipers so more likely got a pair of those 3D gel numberplates on order, as the young team seem to do nowadays.

Vin number usually visible through windscreen.

The plates are probably on the owners new, non fucked Astra.

Only if cloned. Legally it's impossible to register an imported car here if the said car doesn't have a Romanian CIV, which is impossible to get without the car being physically present in one of the Romanian Automotive Register's offices.

[bunglebus]

I honestly think it's just dumped, possibly stolen - where it's parked makes it stand out as it's on a railway bridge

I must take a photo of a Romanian-plated RHD Audi A5 near me which bears exactly the same plate as a UK-plated Audi A5 on DVLA....

Minor excitement here this afternoon - the Citroen left behind after the woman smashed its window (and then got evicted) gained a wheel clamp, courtesy of the guy in the 69 plate flatbed, who then took lots of pictures of the damage on it

He was then heard having a heated discussion with the woman over the phone about getting the keys, before this arrived

Up, up and away!

Guessing it had some sort of finance outstanding on it.

Can't pay - we'll take it away. Simples
