my guess is its not just there for a reason!

probably engine popped, or a write-off, or stolen recovered vehicle etc
theres many possibilities its just sat there, not just that someone abandoned it.

remember 10-15 years ago some people were getting insurance quotes for Ł9000. so car was in a way worthless as its couldnt be used, and if it was broke then owner prob thought it wasnt worth fixing

what is supprising it that nothing has been robbed from it, as its clearly sat there for at least 5-10 years!

Also you have to remember to us its a beautiful creation, to a lot of people its just an old battered sierra.

Looking at the 3rd Pic it seems to be a later pic as the bonnet vents have gone!

ireland is full of cars stashed away like that.

they always do it, keep em on their farms etc knackered for years till its of some use, usually in some mental creation, rather than break em n get rid straight away like we do here.

why do people park up good cars like that on grass, so that it will rot the underside of the car off
