By forever, I can say that's it has been there for at least 40 years. 

I just spoke to my brother who reminded me that our dad worked for Pearces Builders who had a  yard opposite. He said it was 1973 dad took him to the yard so he could go fishing for the very first time in the pond at the end of the yard.

He has no idea what the cars are either.

Not moved for quite a while - bleached roof / bonnet / boot. Passer  by said he knew the owner - no longer used as a Morris Minor is their new toy.

It's taking the phrase "wing mirror" rather literally!

Neon.  A favourite of mine.  No MOT since 2014. Sat behind a block of flats

Did like the earlier model  grille / wheel style of Neon when it 1st came out - cant remember when I last saw any Neon now though.  Pictured this blue one in 2010 - No longer on D.V.L.A Computer now though.

I've had several of the later ones but never a phase one.  Would really love to try one but as you say, the chances are extremely slim.

Stolen and stripped?! Are these just dumped by the roadside? Looks grim!

Ford Focus alloys on it too. Never knew they fitted?

Corsa is an unknown - Pugs are from a local home car breaker / modder.

Well spotted Mo - Never noticed myself.

Pub with a flat roof and boarded up windows for the win. Fairly sure the council would take a dim view of a car being stripped in the street.

Mk 1 Neons are hateful cars.

That's what you meant to say, right?

[155V6]

This has been parked round the corner from me for ages

DVLA says this

There used to be some Polish people living in a house nearby who worked for Yodel,there were often 5 or 6 Transits & Sprinters parked outside

I'm guessing this one went bang,& when they moved out,they just left it behind ?

[Mr Laurence]

That looks surprisingly solid for a sprinter

Poor fiesta. My uncle in Atlanta got 182k miles on his Fiesta. Ordered a new set of tires, suspension and brake kit from 4Wheelonline and napa and it handle's great again.

Presumably, now this and cars like it are MOT exempt, it could stay there forever as long as the owners SORN it every year?

I know it’s technically ‘on the public highway’ but I can’t imagine the DVLA care as there’s no revenue loss.

Mot exempt - Free tax and tiny classic car policy costs means cheap parking for as long as you need

The immediate neighbors have lunched this Volvo out..hasnt moved in a year.

Just now along Holders Hill....

A couple of unloved Japs in Heathrow area

I bet that RX-7 needs an engine rebuild....

[phil_lihp]

Not strictly dumped, but spotted in the yard of a local garage.  Interior full to the brim with scrap metal so its days are probably numbered.  Might yield some useful parts though if @dollywobbler needs any bits for his.  Bonus Scirocco as well.

 

  

MOT fail from last April suggests it's mostly made of bran flakes underneath.

That Scirocco in the background looks tidy.
