Yeah, I suspect its inners are screwed. I was thinking about the outer panels and trim.

I'll do some digging tomorrow, thanks for the link.

You know, the only reason people hate caravans is because modern ones look like kitchen appliances. That old one up there with the wire wheels is a gorgeous shape, I only wish I had the time, space and money to take it or something like it on!

[billy]

no probs Chris good luck from what I saw the interior looked ok but I was a little hungover sunday morning when I took the pics lol

I thought that caravan looked sorta cool hence the pic
maybe its just cos its on pimping wire rims lol

Still on an active SORN though, so someone 'cares' about it.

Chris

[billy]

[Deleted]

eep! My SORN must be about due... *scampers off to DVLA online to check*

I have just finished reading all 167 pages of this thread. Certainly the best forum read I have ever seen! So good infact that it has prompted me to join and post some pictures of cars I have seen. I am only 15, and I don't carry a camera all the time so all these pics are from streetview, I have removed all the locations just incase but pm for location details If anyone is interested. I sure would love to save some of the amazing old cars that I have seen on this thread, especially some of those 3ltr mk1 capris, such a bloody waste But I do have my eyes on an aparently one owner mk1 golf gti which has been lying in a garage for the past 15 years, wish me luck on getting it as a first car


Not exactly abandoned I guess as it's certainly owned by someone. I first saw this tvr tuscan when I started secondary school in 2006 and it hasn't moved an inch since. The left back wheel has been removed and the hub is being supported by bricks!! It's generally looking really bad with green stuff all over the rubber parts around the windows There is also a honda cbr1000 that hasn't moved in a long time sitting next to it. I really wouldn't advise anyone to take pictures of this or knock on the house as it all seems rather dogey to me.


Number plate BI6 RAN...for some reason I just remember it....been sitting there for a few years, house is certainly active and someone has spent money on it in the past as is has nice wheels and other little bits.



3 stunning mk1 golfs.....All have had some serious money spent on them but I havn't seen them move since I first noticed them in 2007. All three now have covers on and certainly aren't rusting away....just a shame they aren't being used..


Been here for as long as I can remember. Full of rubbish and the sun roofs open so no doubt the interior and chasiss will be scrap. If there are any reliant collectors reading this, is this one worth enquiring about? No doubt this one will be of use to someone even for parts?


Lexus ls400....only spotted recently, think it was last taxed in 2000.....has had quite afew chavy bits fitted...


Jensen interceptor coupe. One of less than 60 ever made. I did loads of research in to this one in the hope that me and my dad could buy it. We knocked on the door and were told to return later when the owner was in. As it turns out my dad never bothered to go back and it sold for £7000 on ebay..A right bargain I missed out on as restored exampled sell for £30k plus. at least it isn't rotting now

Thats all for now, there certainly will be more....hows this for a first post?

After about 30 mins on goolge maps i found these (including a UNCENSORED!!!! numberplate.

[ra28celica]

another 15 year old, I'm 16 good to see teenagers on this awesome website

[lilbob]

the uncensered plate car belongs to a member on here I'm sure i read the build thread
I'm pretty sure its got a zetec engine

[ben1]

i don't think it is abandoned at all , just shocked to see the number plate , maybe could be a sue for google ?

[retrowagen1234]

this hasnt moved since as long as i can remember... i was told by a neighbour of the house that theres another black one in the garage... theres no way that will come out of that garden without pulling the fence out...



ex navy or RAF loadlugger of some kind... crossflow powered... i was told a while back but forgot...

itll get scrapped soon i expect as the house is gonna be knocked down along with the whole road...

race pug

[MK2VR6]

This one has sat up the road from me for a couple of years. Shame, as it did look pretty tidy.
