I'm pretty sure this isn't far from me - is it somewhere near Castle Gresley? I think I saw it once but I was drunk.

I dont know where it is. I just got the pictures from the thread in the OP.

Bennah · 13 Mar 2009 at 20:15

Guy i know has a Gilbern Invader, some 40's/50's Merc convertible and a Detomaso Pantera sat in his garage...i know the Detomaso has been there for about 15 years as that was the last time i did any welding on it!.

EddScott · 13 Mar 2009 at 21:04

Was the RS200 on here that was left in a shed for years?

That was some find!

There are thousands of abandoned cars that haven't even been sold yet - well, no bugger is going to buy them so they may as well be abandoned

Locky · 13 Mar 2009 at 21:16

Don't know, But it still looks the same now as it did then, not been trashed at all, I think some old boy owned it whos passed away.

I will take a walk past tomoz and see what is left, but last time I checked it was the same as seen in them pics.
