This is the latest in a long line of frilly old vans owned by a chap near me. Haven't seen his A55 Diesel in a while, maybe it finally pushed him over the edge

That is literally the BEST THING I've ever seen. How does that even exist??

There's an MGLBT in the middle

I was behind a later Sherpa dropside on the outskirts of Sheffield the other day!

I've already posted about him, but there's a fella down the road from me who has a collection of 3 Mk1 Lagunas

He's got first dibs on mine when we're done with it

The red one, XUD...looks familiar. Is it ex @RobT?

Indeed it is.  I think Craig Cheetham still has my old V6 one.  Probably worth actual money now.

Footie season starts at the end of the month, chance to see if this has moved.

This must surely be a shiter? The ultimate Autoshite mode of transport.

I saw this exact van filling with petrol about a week ago in my corner of N London. I knew I'd seen it somewhere before!

Always thought about starting an fred like this and a comment @busmansholiday made after passing by prompted me to do it.

Please though, if you are posting, try to not make the exact location obvious in case they end up with The Beaded Burgler in their yard doing a youtube video.

 

Anyway, do you ever pass a house and think the owner is deffo a shiter (whether they know it or not?)

This one is near me, the MG on the road has been parked there for at least the 10 years I've been driving past, it may sometimes move, I can't confirm. 
Dunno if the Lexus belongs to the same bloke, I like to think it does. 

Satellite view shows in the region of 20 festering BL heaps amongst a series of ramshackle shed and container structures - SHITER CONFIRMED

 

So, any good hoards near you?

Went to that bloke with the missus' Metro as he's got the only hydragas pump in the area (afaik). 

Not sure what his plans for the B are, he reckoned someone had offered him ten grand for it, even in that state. Looks even worse now. He's had all sorts of BL chod parked there over the years, including three production-spanning Allegros all there at the same time. Was a sight to behold!

I was thinking the same. Sherpa envy. 

[bunglebus]

This guy. Most haven't moved in a while and the BMW in the road has no rear 'plate

[GregZX]

A bloke has just moved into my cul-de-sac and brought with him an ‘03 Passat, ‘04 Defender and a ‘99 BMW E36 coupe. 

[Kingofdnb]

There's a few round my neck of the woods

These has been around since I remember.

Then I've only noticed these 2 on my new route.

This one also had a PT cruiser pickup what I can't find a picture of.

Then there's always been a landbarge parked outside this house

Before

Recently 

But with a 300c outside. 

Then a few doors down this chap always has something special outside. There's also a Suzuki cappuccino, a rolls Royce which had a garage built over it and a house which has about 10 Citroen Picasso's in its driveway.

Not quite in my area, but you know you drive past that house, and there's loads of stuff rotting on the drive, and slightly less rusty stuff on the road?

Well the chances are out the back will be much older stuff. Multiple E Types and two AC Aces and an Aceta have just been dragged out and are heading to auction. There's all sorts of other stuff including parts and a 1951 Landie. Never seen cars three high in a garage before

That really is quite something and in Downham! I suppose they've been there long before such metal had any real value. Off to look at the auction.

My ex's mother was from Downham, but had married well as they say, making adjustments to fit in. After a few drinkies her accent would somewhat slip which always cheered me. 

[bunglebus]

I spotted all sorts of Mk1 Granada and other early Ford bits laying around outside too, hopefully all the useful parts will be sold off too rather than scrapped

It did feel very SE London when I saw it, so thanks for confirming.. 

Most of those cars seemed to get V5`s circa 1984, when most of them would have been worthless, especially damaged, which some of them were..

I suspect he was something to do with the motor trade, possibly in a bodyshop, or a scrap yard, & just decided to keep the cream of the shite that would otherwise have been binned off..  As usual, theres a lot of commenters on the video saying how sad it is for them to have been left to sit & rot, the fact is, most, if not all of them would have gone for scrap back in the early 80`s, as the majority of them did, so we should just be grateful this fellow nutter chose to keep them (& mostly in the dry) & they still exist at all. & his packaging technique is genius..

See, this is the kind of place I rarely bother exploring, as you just dont expect to find a prime chod collector in a modern, boring housing estate..

If he`s local to us, I wonder if he knows of this one (owned since 1986)

Bolton?

[jonny69]

I grew up just round the corner from that Downham stash and I literally had no idea about that one. Sort of backs onto where Downham Autos used to be but I don’t think he’s got anything to do with them. The owner was more of a hotrodder  and had a Pop back in the early 90s. 

[bunglebus]

Either neighbours with similar taste in old shite or somehow blagged a spot on next door's garden

I drove a Grand Tourino once,  noisey and a bit gutless, but a lot of fun to chuck about.  Wouldn't mind one of those.
