Amishtat Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 This Dolomite is on Acorn Avenue off London Road just in case we haven't exhausted Braintree's hopeless cases. Also there's a overgrown garden of vans up Skitts Hill but nothing old enough to be interesting to me so I never bothered getting a picture. Yes, I know we've had this photo before..

Amishtat Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Or the fucked-looking G-reg Subaru estate at the Coggeshall Rd end of Hay Lane North. That hasn't turned a wheel for a decade to my knowledge. OK, I'll stop now.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brother used to live in the bungalow on the corner of Skitts Hill and Orchard Drive. The bloke with the garden full of vans had a garage at the back of my brothers garden, and that had a Vito buried in the brambles for years. The bloke owns the very busy van sales place in Bradwell on the A120 between Braintree and Coggeshall Amishtat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amishtat Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 That explains a lot, most of them look like scrappers! I think my uncle knows him a little, I'll have to ask Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraWomble Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 I passed a fucked and abandoned looking Subaru Imp yesterday on Aqueduct street in Preston. Missing lots of bits, but there are a few backstreet garages round there so it may just be "resting". No photo as I didnt have time to circle back and stop. Might swing by today on my way to the nick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Sterling Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Woodgate, Birmingham; Strangely the numberplate doesn't show on DVLAds. Streetmaps shows an earlier image where it looked recently parked up, clean and with its proper Vauxhall wheel trims. Now it has a massive dent in the drivers door and wheel trims and wing mirror cover are missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lankytim Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Maybe the plate has been taken off and it's on retention? I've heard that the price for scrap cars is at a bit of a low point so hopefully our sport of snotter spotting will get a much needed boost with extra abandoned shitters. paulplom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Sterling Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Jaguar Sovereign 4.0 originally registered in Dudley so not travelled far. Probably been here for a loooong time as I can't see it's last MOT. Nissan Sunny last MOTd 2015.

EssDeeWon Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Yo any of you essex chod spotters, I saw a black B reg Orion 1.6 Ghia that has literally sunk into someones front lawn this morning in East Tilbury, along Princess Margaret Road. Annoyingly I didn't have my phone on me, but if any of you essex shiters happen to be down that way its well worth a look, it has badly faded and gone green in places, Must have been there a good 20 years judging by how much the wheels have sunk into the grass. Local 'YTW' plates too. Shep Shepherd and bunglebus 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wingz123 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Has it actually been dumped that? Or have they just grounded out and got it stuck....? Smashed front screen is a bit odd....probably hit a pigeon at 70 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wingz123 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 That's to prevent it from being towed away for no tax. If they are unable to read the vin number or the reg plate they have no way of checking if it is taxed or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Split_Pin Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 It's got alloys from an SE2 model MK4 Coupe and flatblade wipers so more likely got a pair of those 3D gel numberplates on order, as the young team seem to do nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only if cloned. Legally it's impossible to register an imported car here if the said car doesn't have a Romanian CIV, which is impossible to get without the car being physically present in one of the Romanian Automotive Register's offices.

bunglebus Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 I honestly think it's just dumped, possibly stolen - where it's parked makes it stand out as it's on a railway bridge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must take a photo of a Romanian-plated RHD Audi A5 near me which bears exactly the same plate as a UK-plated Audi A5 on DVLA....
