Not my area, this is in Walsall, and is apparently still there, but where? Looks like an Austin to me.

The photo above was accompanied with this which could be a clue - 

I also know where this is. The dumped Austin is behind what looks to be a former travel agency.

Ah, thank you.

C2 with low miles

Out of MOT & tax

On the same farm this Transit seems a bit new to have been left to rot

SORN since 2022

Isn't that a long-retired Hackney?

A closed taxi office on the outskirts of Walsall, been there many years.

Somone has removed the number plate, the vehicle  is remarkably solid and is not on DVLA web site,the premises have been derelict for many many years and consists of of a small office building, garage, yard and there where two other  taxis, a Vauxhall 10 and another Austin.

Not far from me, I'll have a look next time I'm in the area.

This B6 Passat is opposite my local Lidl, been here for ages. Always strikes me as odd that a new car (in my mind) would just be left to go green 

[bunglebus]

Don't think this Lamborghini is going back on the road

I agree and thought the same with the 10 plate Golf & 15 plate Transit I posted above.

Terrible photo but they’ve recently trimmed a load of the bushes near the bus depot I work out of and I’ve just noticed this old AEC truck, there’s another one behind it that looks to be a fire engine and a couple MG midgets too that I’ll try to get a picture of when I’m up there next

The MG’s are a little visible on google maps

It feels new to me too, but the sad reality is that the majority of 58 plate cars have already been scrapped!

Makes my head spin a bit too, even though logically I know it's no different from seeing this car parked up in 1998:

[Lord Sterling]

This morning after coming home from work, I cruised up a nearby road where I like to park my cars and noticed an 'official' council notice on this car:

Shame really as it looks a nice car. Not my cup of tea, but a nice car nonetheless.

I honestly never really noticed it having been there for a while. I'm glad I used the Vectra as that looked even more abandoned with a flat tyre. I used it to go to work the day before having left it for 2 weeks. It was a little grumbly at first but got better as I used it more.

Its hard to tell but the one with the green bonnet looks more like a Frogeye Sprite to me with a fibreglass bonnet, it appears to have the Frogeye/MK2 Sprite/MK1 Midget windscreen but the capping around the rear cockpit looks like a Frogeye one.

You could be right, I’m not too clued up on British sports cars, I’ll try to get some better pictures when I’m next there

Volvo out of tax and MOT and slowly sinking into the tarmac.

No MOT fails on record with 166k.

This somewhat faded Transit Connect has been sat unmoving near a woodland path not far from me since Christmas, and has finally attracted some official attention:

Jump leads flung in the passenger seat suggest electrical woes have laid it low. 

Not looking all that rusty, though worn-smooth front tyres don't suggest maintenance has been high on the owner's list of priorities.

Kind of a shame if it's been dumped for want of a battery; these little things have become rather thin on the ground in recent years. 

Ironically, it's an ex-council van about to be lifted by the council.

Seen worse advertised as “project”.

[Rustybullethole]

Local to London abode

Local to parents place in Devon

Local to where I past spent the night in my tent in Wiltshire.

[Imhotep]

Been here a few months now. Battered, engine and cat missing. Likely had engine pulled and just been left here. 

[bunglebus]

A couple of local ones I found today while being nosey 

[FakeConcern]

Rusty Merc in Rye

This dumped X Trail and (in the background) have recently changed places

Spotted this very rusty Karmann Ghia Type14 (?) in a junk yard from the cycle track between the railway and the sea in St Leonards

[Lord Sterling]

Spotted these recently in the Carrefour carpark in Brussels near Zaventem Airport. I wonder if the German reg'd Polo was stolen.

I recently checked out that car park in Roodebeek by Woluwe Shopping centre but there was absolutely nothing of note and everything there seemed to be in use. There was a base-spec Volvo V50 that looked like someone was living in it but I couldn't be sure as there were people passing at the time.

Yes. Type 34 is based on the type 3 rather than Beetle and is pretty rare now

And it's now gone - whether the Council made good on their threat and lifted it, or the owner came back for it, I'm not quite sure. 

It's still showing on the DVLA checker, so not yet issued with a COD - though the fact the tax ran out five months ago doesn't really offer much optimism for its fate...

Is that Cortina with the sagging arse still sat in the field in the midlands?
