Not a load of Mercedes in a field by any chance? 

 

Thought I'd check out the Mercs properly. Believe me, there are a LOT of cars on this site

Google shows the scale of the site. Some may be in use, some may be spares cars, who knows?

A couple from my way.

W833 JPA was taxed and MOT'd until November 2016. The car in front of it is a Rover 75 estate. Interestingly R421 FPN does not come up on the DVLA records (I'm sure it is an R reg, both from memory and looking at the picture).

There's also a fair amount of XJs littered around the property (there's more cars in the back garden according to the land owner behind the house).

I think this is a Daimler Majestic DF316? There's another Daimler looking car behind it as well, which you can't really see on the photo. No idea what's under the tarp.

The Majestic Major was quite a motor. I recall reading that before Jaguar bought Daimler William Lyons was worried about that car as it would eat a Mk9 Jag for breakfast.

I haven't got round to papping it, but idiot sister's lovely* neighbours have dumped a corsa outside sister's house. Not insured, is taxed / 1 month MOT left. I'm assuming insurance has been transferred to new(er) motor parked outside their house. Going on oil pool it's shat something terminal.

Not sure how we get it shifted, council website on abandoned vehicles isn't interested if there's mot left.

Try the dvla. It has to be insured. I did this at my old house. Parking was a bastard to say the least and here was a merc opposite that hadn't moved for about 2 months. I went online and discovered it wasn't insured iirc. There is a dvla page where you can give them the complaint and postcode of where the vehicle is. 2 days later he was emptying it in a massive huff and another bloke took it away. Possibly coincedence but I doubt it.

Thart reminds me there is a RHD Golf on Romanian plates round here

If you get a clear view of the VIN number, you could try here and see if it's legit registered in Romania. First two rows a valid e-mail address, third row - VIN number. You'll get an email in Romanian telling you if all papers are legit. If one of the rows reads

Carte de Identitate a Vehiculului ACTIVĂ

then the Romanian registration is legit.

 

Here you can see an example of the information available. Not too much, they just started.

crazy - I drive within a mile of that every day and never knew it was there.  I'm going to guess not a single car is for sale.

Hoarding I think - there's always been loads of Mercs there as long as I can remember

That’s Mercedes Bill’s place in Billericay. He used to have a workshop round the back along with a part worn tyres shop, but it all went up in flames 10+ years ago. He used to break the Mercs for parts but all of the rarer stuff went up in the fire - loads of stacked light saloons etc.
