Just seen this. Bad times and some epic machinery left to rot.

I want that Mercedes for a restoration project!

Renault 5 turbo on the other hand looks as good as the day it left the showroom.

I don't get why people leave stuff like that to rot, there is some serious money there, either fix the things up or sell them to someone who will!

i died a little inside looking at that xj220.

 

[Hyburnate]

I wouldn't be surprised if some of the more expensive ones have had their engines removed and sold on.

I will take the Nissan GTR, only needs a wash!

The R32 looks out of place. Probably got a smashed up front end.

Agreed, poor Muira and Diablo as well.

Such a waste

as did the Toyota F1 car

Its not the sort of car you park outside and pop out to whenever you fancy a drive. That car is modern enough that you'd have a fairly extensive list of things you'd need to do before you could even think about starting it. And i bet it doesn't start from a button in the car.

That Peugoet 905 (least that's what I think it is after some googling)

isn't abandoned either - its in the yard of a workshop.

Oh and apparently the Mclaren MP6 F1 car was an empty shell with no engine. It has since been rescued by Road and Track magazine and now sits in their office

[geekman]

Pretty sure a lot of those have been saved by now

 

[BigglesPiP]

Some of those deserved to die, the BX 4TCs for example, I thought Citroen burned all of them and pretended it never happened.

yeah doing some reverse image searching shows a lot of these have stories to them and aren't what they seem.

Ther'es no way that 250 GTO is still in that state for a start lol.

*edit*

Sure enough with some more googling it was restored in 1986.

The guy did let it rot in his back yard for 14 years however !!!

That XJ220 is in a gulf state after a bad sand storm by the looks of things, not abandoned.

 

[Fr0dders]

No that was abandoned they reckon

Probably by somebody on the run in Dubai who was in debt.

Those BXs were on their way to be restored.
