Supernaut Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Whatever it is, it's mind-boggling at times. Some of the cars in this thread, even in their dumped state, are worth more than all the cars I've owned combined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amishtat Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Not dumped or abandoned as such, but none of them have moved in years or seem likely to do so again without a hiab. Angrydicky, Datsuncog, worldofceri and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amishtat Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 This was another Essex favourite of mine but I went past earlier for the first time in ages and the house is all cleaned up and on the market so probably someone passed away. There was a Prefect as well but I don't seem to have a picture of that. This was a 2.3 Ghia with filler falling out of it all over the place. Incidentally the same fate seems to have befallen the Renault 11 in Braintree and annoyingly I've lost the photo. The Triumph is a Braintree resident too but has looked like this for the ten years I've known it so god knows how long it's really been there. adw1977, Jerzy Woking and worldofceri 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fumbler Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 It's being tended to by an old guy though. I see him sometimes open up the doors and dust out the interior. Probably also keeps the tyres pumped up too. Christine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amishtat Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Probably best to take it off every so often and get some air round it, I've seen a few where trapped moisture has at least fucked the paint and usually the metal beneath. Depends on the circumstances really. This is another not really abandoned or dumped but it's sitting dusty on deflating tyres. The house appears to have recently sold so I'll keep an eye on it.

Amishtat Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 There was one for sale in Wales a couple of years ago but I don't think I've ever seen one in the metal before. It's quite nice but I'd ditch the visor.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last night I caught a glimpse of some 4x4's in a garden along Cressing Road in Braintree that look like they haven't moved for years. Will try and get some photos. There are also a number of Saabs at the front of a house further along close to McDonalds roundabout, but think that they do get moved around, but will have a better look tomorrow.
