Abandoned car dealership...
Was out for a drive to scarborough on saturday & came across this place out in one of the villages. If these are what is left outside to rot , I wonder what is inside ? this place was a bit of a time warp

I once found two abandoned E30 325i sports parked next to each other in a derelict pub car park out in the middle of knowwhere .......... Got out to have a look as these motors were in a poor state, to find that both cars tax discs had ran out in 1988 & both cars had less than 100 miles on the speedos !
Very strange, that was years ago though. Checker on google Earth & the cars are in the photos for about 5 years ago.
Went back last week ... Both gone

there is also another yard of cars they own in the same condition that I have seen myself, that yard included a moonstone blue D red xr4x4 sierra amongst tractors and other stuff like that.
**edit* found it on google map it's at langdale end and the yard is still full

There is 1 near me on a hill. Its been abandoned as long as i can remember and is covered so the cars arnt too bad. there is a green beetle, astra and a metro from what i can remember, maybe about 10 cars in total. Ill get some pics up as soon as I can. seems a waste to me and makes you wonder what happened just for it to be locked up and left like that for years.

There was a place like that near me, only its a massive country mansion, totally derelict with mk1 fiesta, mk3 escort and other classic cars of that era on the drive, outside totally rusted out but the interiors were all mint with less than 5k miles on all of them!
house has been refurbished recently though and all cars went for scrap

I know where there are two red 70's alfas sat in a field dying out near weardale. I also know there is a 1970's TVR sat rotting just off bowness in windermere highstreet it has been there for at least 15 years.

Red Lodge scrappy at Mildenhall, if you drive past the yard, its a dead end road, but at the end, in the same plot as an old, dilapidated house, is a mk3 Cortina, think a tree or bush grown through it.
Another one, at a little garage near RAF Honnington, All Blue 3i cab, been parked up outside the garage for years, nice low mileage, minus a headlight and interior going mouldy, but owner wont sell.
