It's on an axle stand, and the exhaust looks to be hanging down. Has someone done some work on it there or pulled the engine and gearbox and now abandoned it?

Agreed. The amount of shite all over the road and pavement suggests the owner is/was a serial tinkerer over a sustained period of time. Maybe the fella passed on?

It's in one of the animal enclosures at Colchester Zoo

Not a dumped car, but...

Spotted on tuesday, but was still there yesterday

Anyone know what sort of bus this is?

I assume they aren't worth anything

I saw it when out for a ride

Not sure how it got here, it's in a mess inside

The drivers seat is there though

So do you think it drove here or was towed?

Weird. Looks like it was on Muppetplace in September 2023. Someone's made some effort to reassemble parts in the meantime. I wonder if it was being towed and there was an issue?

Bristol VR with ECW coachwork.

Def some money in scrap if nowt else be high single figure tonneage.

It's been dumped there after yet another hipster realised that more work was needed to convert it into a camper. I hate these cunts.

It failed to sell on ebay a few months ago and now it's been converted into someone else's problem.

It looks too far gone to restore and the VR isn't an especially rare bus.

I blame Cliff Richard!

The Bristol VR is all over facearse pages now, so the light fingered crew will undoubtedly have it away soon enough. Someone posted this, so it indeed looks like someone had grand plans without the grand budget.

I saw the guy abandoning that, looks like it had broken down and he stormed off in a strop.

So many car adverts recenrly have  had people who have experoenced a 'change in circumstances'.

I was interested in a Saab 93 TTID recently, for sale for this very reason. After a few messages then owner admitted they had been banned from driving. 

Another one is that it's much more fucked than they first understood, or they didn't check insurance quotes first. 

The best one is that 'my wife doesn't like it', didn't you check first mate?

Used to happen a lot in my family. My dad always felt he knew best and would buy my mum a brand new car without even mentioning it.

She would prefer the car she already had and therefore he would have to sell the new one a couple of months later.

That would tie up with @FakeConcern's general location, but I don't know exactly where he saw it.

On Wartling Road just up from Pevensey roundabout and BP garage. I cycle around through Rickney and Hankham quite a lot so spotted it then.

It’s code for ‘I’ve bought it and it’s fucked’.

I've watched wanker dealers, It should have cost me pennies to do with a massive profit at the end  but everyone one tried to rip me off they think I'm stupid.

[bunglebus]

This is outside a bit of an odd property that's come up for sale recently. It's always had stacks of farm machinery, pallets etc all over the place and probably a few old motors too. I recon the owner has finally popped his clogs

[sheffcortinacentre]

Or it's driven him nuts.
