Where in general is this? The Rover 75 fan boys would be interested in that because of its special colour.

Looks like both the old ones have current tax and V5s recently issued...so someone's still keeping an eye on them?  Of course they don't need MOTs to be on the road...

it's more the condition

sharp rust edges, taking up parking spaces and brining the area down are the main issues

I'm not sure they would. You get a scratch on that, it's a write-off. One thing they didn't consider when doing those ridiculous chameleon colours was that they only work if the whole thing gets a full respray. Do the bumper on its own and it looks very odd.

I’d much rather see those parked there than another couple of generic ecoboxes. As long as they’re taxed they can be parked there. Perhaps the recent tax/new V5s issued is because someone’s received letters from the council informing of the impending destruction and has done something about it.

At current ridiculous classic car prices there’s an easy couple of grand there without even trying. You’d have to be daft to let cars like that be scrapped.

Not really in my area, but I spotted this pair o’ ZX 16v’s in Devon on a recent bikepacking trip

I work near Newbury.

This was dumped on the road I used to walk my dog along until about six months ago. I think someone had been living in it at one point.

Do you think it had an MOT?

Even if the front is the only bit to consider, that’s still worth a fair bit in parts.

Not sure if this qualifies, but there appears to be a very abandoned Citreon BX 4x4 in the background of this video (a about 17:35). edit to add it's near Carmarthen, owners website in video description.

To be fair, by the time it went, someone had had the engine.

While I was out last week I saw this. Interestingly it has a Hartwell West Bromwich dealer sticker but a Dundee reg.  

Last MOT'd in 2009 when it had 34,500 on the clock. From what I could see the body doesn't look too bad considering it's been sitting there for at least 11 years. It does have a for sale sign in the window so maybe it's not as far gone as it might be.

Nice five digit plate and worth every last penny  of 200 notes.

Theres a scrappy -car dealer in Ft William whose acquired this late 40s-early 50s Chrysler thats now been sitting outside in the salty Highland atmosphere for a few years.

I know it aint dumped..but watching it rot away is a sad affair..

[Rab]

Other stuff dotted around the Highlands..I havent been anywhere for a year.....so these have some recent vintage to them

Germany was local to me pre-pandemic!

Project Nigel on YouTube would love this! I may email him actually.
 

Location?

Leaving an impression on the tarmac

[mitsisigma01]

In a riverside parking area just off the A29, one wheel up on axle stands, but wheel still on... strange place to leave it

[Tadhg Tiogar]

Spotted on the BBC News website:

Seems it's not the only one.....

Never fails to amaze me that people don't understand what SORN stands for.

There's a car round the corner of us that's SORN and also on a public highway. It's already had at least 1 yellow notice put on it that was immediately ripped off. I don't think they realise that next up, the council comes round, throws it onto a low-loader and scraps it.

Round the back of a local garage and cut off behind a massive pile of old tyres. Took me an embarrassingly long time to figure out what the little silver hatchback is for something which was everywhere not that long ago. Will go back in winter to see whether they're any more visible.

A Granada, a Sierra and a Morris Minor? Can't ID The hatch

Metro and A35. 

[Barry Cade]

The Escort van I posted many months ago, which has been untouched since, has come up for sale..

[D.E]

Volvo 66 recently moved for the first time since several years when someone pushed it of the parking lot, and is now accompanied by a Lancia which doesn't look too bad but has no valid inspection either.

 

[bunglebus]

What is that Lancia? Can't say I've ever seen one like it

It looks Dedra shaped, maybe a later version than the ones we got? I've never seen one before either
