When HPI'd though they do come back with no DVLA or Police record though.

is that like they have never been in a crime/incident?

 

[Saner]

or fake plates...?

 

[welshname]

Not sure but they aren't fake plates. Look at the post I did before the HPI one. The registrations come back with the right car details.

The no DVLA records means that the car doesn't exist according to them anymore.

 

[Derelict-UK]

maybe they have just been bought as scrapped cars for parts then.

Clio Sport Investigates!! (CSI)

 

[Yosemite Sam]

Lets look at the facts...

The E46 bmw has been dumped. There is no other reason for it being parked on that angle. If that was your legit workshop, the angle of it parked like that would annoy you for starters.

Then there's the fact all the cars are either dumped on their discs or old wheels are propping them up. If you were a legit business you'd have stands.

Then there's the type of cars that are there. BMW/MErc and some 4x4's. Even a lambo ffs! All what thieves can strip and sell on easily. (apart from the lambo, obviously)

I'm not a gambling man, but i'll put a 5iver on it with you that those cars are part of something illegal. Care to make that bet?

 

[Budgie]

I'd be going down all the correct routes and applying for ownership of the Lambo if i were you.

Even in that state, it's worth a few quid!

 

[Derelict-UK]

Is it like if you find money, take it to the police and if no-one claims it in 30 days it's yours?

 

[Scrooge]

The dvla will send a letter to the registered keeper, if it's not replied to too within a set time you can apply for the log book iirc.

 

[Budgie]

Yep- it's something like two weeks.

It's a much longer process for you to become the actual legal owner, but if you've got space to have it recovered and stored, you could be quids in!

 

[Rob]

I'm with Mike. Claim the Lambo!

 

[Scrooge]

Just take it regardless.

 

[Budgie]

Ring a local gypsy.

Agree that he takes all the other scrap shells etc.

You keep one of the cars. (Obvs the Lambo).

Use the scrap money of the other cars to pay him for getting Lambo to you.

Done, and it's not cost you a penny.

 

[Scrooge]

I have the trailer, you have the boost bus with a tow bar, want a Birmingham trip Mike

 

[Budgie]

Count me in.

 

[matt200vvc]

If the lambo is stolen then surely that would be flagged when you attempt to register it with the DVLA?

Also, what's a Lambo worth in that condition? i presume all of it's running gear has gone.

Derelick-UK, do you have anymore photos? love looking at things like this, would really like to get into this exploring old building etc but have no idea where you would begin!

 

[Stu.]

..

 

[Knuckles]

How much does Cs think itd cost to get that lambo running/roadworthy?

 

[northy]

has the lambo got a reg on it ? I carnt see from the pictures.

Pm me

 

[si_hartlepool]

Of anyone from the north east is interested. There's an old beetle iirc here

I went around there a good few years go. I'll see if I can find the pics

Its cherry knowle mental asylum. The bit in the pic is the old abandoned hospital

Would be interested to see some pictures mate!

We're going to have a look in a few weeks

 

[TheGuvnor]

Isnt that lambo a replica ???

 

[Owen92]

I don't know if this really counts but it is still an awesome collection

[Matt Cup]

^Not really abandoned are they? Cool nontheless

Shocked at the semi stripped Lambo

 

[Derelict-UK]

Police now know about the cars, they seem to be taking it seriously, they checked all 3 number plates and none of them were on their databases. They are sending a team round tomorrow.

I did pop back on the way home and the door to the lambo garage had been closed and the security gate to another compound (within the outside compound) had been opened and it was closed/locked yesterday. I didn't venture any further just in case!!

Will see what comes of it by the end of the week.

 

[welshname]

OOOooo. Sounds like it's getting exciting.

 

[Waitey]

Lambo isn't a 'proper' Diablo.

The guys on PH have noticed its actually a[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif] Parallel designs replica.

Given away by the gear gate of all things.

[Derelict-UK]

Bit of an update, the police have found the owner of the units, the cars aren't stolen, he has produced the log books for all of them.

So, it is a genuine abandoned unit of non dodgy cars.

The police said the reason it was left was due to family problems.

The Diablo...

[Knuckles]

Aww. So you can't take the lambo?

Tis a bit of an odd way to leave them for 'family problems' surely you'd still want to keep on top of them?

 

[Yosemite Sam]

Maybe he left them there and then they got stripped by hoodlums?!

 

[b1lly]

saw these last week, gtt is at an ex scrappy's house and the audi has been left at a farm entrance

 

[DaveDreads]

I wonder if the rat look gtt could be salvaged?

I kind of like it all f*cked up and rusty.

 

[MarcoB]

Judging by the end of the skirt on the driver side I'm guessing most of that car is Iron oxide and the paint is holding it together.

 

[DaveDreads]

Lol I think it'd be alright, my 172's mostly held together with dog hair.

 

[elliot90]

Hey folks, check it out we found a jaguar graveyard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
more images at the link but i'll just post the one on here

[Yosemite Sam]

These are in a field about 10 minutes from my house. Been there ever since I was a kid!

I would have they R19 wheels in a second

 

[DaveDreads]

Surely this hasn't been there since you were a kid?

It looks like it was parked up last week.

Do i recognise these right Dan, on the Badminton Rd at Mayshill opposite the New Inn, Couldn't see them probably until whoever owns the field cut down the brambles

 

[Yosemite Sam]

That's the ones mate yes!

 

[Oldtimer49er]

Don,t know about how old Dan is , but yes they have been there a good few years now, they never seem to move and the weeds just grow back

 

[DaveDreads]

Dan's in his early 30's, but his hair line is in it's 60's.
