For me that Hilux is the Hilight of this already excellent photo. That home-made bed arrangement is epic.

The second one is a Holden Commodore circa 1990, so Australia or NZ.

Bloody hoons!

Got to be broken down, Shirley? Last logbook issued Sept 2021

Can’t see someone abandoning that, it’s got to be worth even a grand in that condition. Problem is sat there it’ll attract all the shitehawks vandalising it or it’ll be off to the crusher if the council get wind it’s abandoned.

I think I've seen this Jag here before, but it seems to have had a booboo.

I don't think it's likely to get fixed

Rusting in peace. MoT expired 2017. 

It has one of those giffer shopping carts in the back. 

I don't have any particular affinity with these but it's a sad scene.

Posted a couple of pictures of these before but that was last autumn. Went past again today and grabbed a couple more before the vegetation grows back. I'm genuinely embarrassed to have previously misidentified the Minor as an A35 but hey ho. The Essex registered G-plate Scorpio ( which is a long way from home) was last taxed in April 1999.

How is that 205 100% rusty except one door?

Spontaneous combustion.

Then we stepped on some slightly crunch ground and found the remains of another car...

That’s a Talbot wheel so possibly the remnants of a Horizon, Alpine or Solara

Bloody hell that looks like it's been there a while!

Seems it died around 2009. Realised I took another with the plate visible.  Wonder if it was OMGHGF.

Just can't quite make out the reg, 

Maybe was, seems odd to dump it there for possibly 13 years. Wonder if the owner has forgotten about it!? 

The mileage could be really low too!

In regular use up until then I guess. That mileage is about right for HGF, although of course it can happen at any mileage. 

So it was no less than 9 years old when dumped, presumably deemed not worth repair. 

Imagine a 2013 car being dumped now and only worth a few hundred ££ 

Those were the days, and it wasn't even that long ago!

I thought it looked like a Fiat wheel, possibly an UNO or something?

It doesn't take long in the right environment - this happened in a year apparently, under a tree

Good point, and wow! I'd like to see that jetwashed :)

Either HGF or front floor/sill rot will have seen that 45 off. It’s a manual, so it wasn’t the shit CVT gearbox letting go.

Crisp. 

Probably get £1000 for it as a camper project in this climate though! 😁

Floorpan is a good shout, although when its 8 years old that would be a surprise. My 2004 45 failed on floorpan rot in 2018, so it did quite well. Luckily in my case it was caught in time and wasnt terminal :)

Giffer owner probably, bet theres nothing wrong with it under the green (other than rot, perhaps!)
