Here in New York City, we have so, so many abandoned cars in various lots. In most cases, people feel that they will eventually get back to them. In my own case, I have a Jensen Interceptor, Jaguar xjs and a Maserati 425 sitting in one of my lots. Years ago I parked them there and eventually just forgot about them. Only history. Think of it this way… in 200 years, no one will car about the difference between a Ferrari and a VW.

This is terrable, almost makes me cry.
Im not a merc fan but the SL certainly deserves better, its the finest car they ever made (my opinion).
The Aston, what can i say, but “WHY!”, it even looks structually intact! Few thousand hours in my shop and it would be good as new.
Dino ferrari, not my favorite but again “why”.
And then we get to the buggatti (no idea what model)……….. these people should be locked up! I cant even comprehend how someone could just leave that to rot, theres probably only afew dozen like it left ANYWHERE… its history! worth it weight in gold!
I wish I could rescue these cars…

#12 was the motorshow mockup for the tvr speed 12 and was a radical styling departure from both existing tvr’s and what the speed 12 eventually became, it was based on a fully functional cerbera prototype that the gutted, stuck a heap of fibreglass on, slotted a fancy 900bhp v12 engine in (not connected mind you)and they painted the windows so nobody could see it had no interior, was cut up and shipped to the dump when the russian business boy shut down the company and all the stuff that was left behind got carted to the tip. you can prolly find more info on http://www.pistonheads.com . lots of tvr nuts on there and bound to be heaps of info on this “car”

Is the 12th pic a real car? It looks like a plastic prop or a toy.

Your E type Jaguar pic is a series 2 not 3. The s3 has flared wheel arches front and back, The s2 2+2 is very similar especially when the lower front panel is missing thus removing the air scoop only found on the s3.

Yes, it is sad to see but there so much \”good\” scrap out there – people think they are going to restore them but don\’t etc. The cars get rarer and values increase for the ones that do make it !

Anyway, this is a collection of pics from all over the world – US, Spain, UK and so on. Some cars which are basically worthless in one place (a old Roller in the UK), are worth more in other places. A old rusty Ferarri in Italy is probably worth little too ?

I recon the 300sl merc would be worth something, even in that condition.

If people spend so much money on cars, they should spend the same amount on maintaining it, especially these exotic ones.

You hear of these environmentalists and such going out to save animals and trees etc. I feel the same when I see all these neglected cars… just I don’t have the money to do so.

Go out to rural areas, there are yards full of this. Great cars wasted – I don’t know why.
