No idea how long this has been here, but obviously quite some time.

Didn't do much for me, but might give some the

There's definitely a YouTube video about this....

Saw this on Youtube some weeks back. Apparently the owner was looking to sell and downsize due to personal circumstance. 

There was a preview to an auction recently where potential bidders could view the cars before placing a bid.

The most famous Cornish Landie yet. Parked since 1989. Shame really...

These aren't dumped as such the Honda is my wife's and the manual twin turbo 300zx is my sons.

But both have been forgotten about down at my father in law's.

Only seeing this now but I might be interested in that 300ZX...🤷‍♂️

Market Gates multi-storey car park in Great Yarmouth has about 40 cars seemingly abandoned in there.

Ooo that’s worth a trip out…..

I was there not so long ago - the Yaris has been off the road since 2017, the Astra since 2018, the Suxo since 2019 and the three-wheeling Pug since 2020. How odd, must be a (multi)story as to why they're there

A 66 plate Ford Ecosport has finally been removed from a main road in Cheltenham (Princess Elizabeth Way, a very busy route from the north to the west of town, and not a road you’d easily dump an old banger in) having sat in the same spot since at least December. 

I can only assume the owner died, as it would have been worth fixing no matter what had gone wrong with it, and a finance firm would have repossessed if the owner had stopped payments. It was only removed after the Untaxed vehicle stickers appeared a couple of weeks ago.

They aren't actually abandoned; the owners are all still stuck in the queue in the Post Office...

Many of these have ended up on eBay, I recognise the location.

 

These we’re spotted on a recent trip to Watford/ Croxley Green in North London. There were plenty more old heaps seemingly abandoned on people’s drives but I felt too conspicuous taking photos. It’s weird seeing a quite affluent area full of so many abandoned motors, maybe people here don’t need the £400 or so Car take back would pay so are happy for them to fester.

Rover 100 near me, been there for many years... I suspect it'll be crispy by this point.

This has turned up close to me in Stoke on Trent. It’s probably not fair to class it as abandoned as it’ll probably get removed fairly quickly. It’s the second car around here that’s spontaneously combusted recently, I remember there was a fad years ago where kids set fire to the plastic bumpers on cars, hopefully it’s not becoming a fashion again!

Back to the spooky airbase. These three have now gained the attention of the council somehow

Toolbox on the seat and battery in the footwell might be clues as to what went wrong with the Escrap

I’d give that Escort cabriolet another go on the road, perfect for the 38 minutes of summer we have in the UK.

I managed to get around to retracing my earlier routes and grabbed some of those I'd clocked - as well as a few I missed 1st time..... New Addington proudly presents..... 

Hopefully the beds were in a better state than the delivery vehicle...

Couple of doors along my favourite - what's the plural of Lotus? Lotii? 

IMG_20220802_211247.thumb.jpg.b7b632abd6720340f22576ff17e457be.jpg

And again only a couple of doors further

Nice early air cooled one with the metal rear vents, small badge grille and longer sliding door handle. Hard to find early parts now

Can I ask where that is? DM me if you’d prefer. I’ve no intention of pillaging owt, am just curious.

Most odd. The camper has been there forever and looks absolutely bollocksed, but had an MOT. The R5 is new but clearly ancient. The Sprinter is usually there. I think someone lives in the camper, owns the Renault, and works with the Sprinter. I hope they’re ok.

All the above vehicles are on the old airfield site at Upper Heyford, Bicester. 

There's security to get in so no-one's going pilfering, probably why they're all untouched still

Looks like a Merc to me.  E Class?  1980, going by the W suffix.
