Some recent ones now.

My favourite 2012 find so far, I wish garden centre car parks would throw up tat like this more often.

1982 Bedford CF2 230 Pioneer motorhome near Tingewick by BMC Dan, on Flickr
Despite still being taxed this hadn't appeared to have moved since I first saw it last year which raised suspicions about the legality of its MOT. Long may it continue being a total eyesore to the residents on this modern housing estate though!

1972 Hillman Hunter 1500 DL in Hemel Hempstead by BMC Dan, on Flickr

This was part of a massive collection of overgrown 80's rammle that sat in the garden of a bungalow occupied by a traveller family for about a decade which is sadly in the process of being cleared.

Rover Montego estate in Point Clear by BMC Dan, on Flickr
This was the subject of much discussion on a brown forum once

1983 Ford Transit Mk2 Ice Cream Van in Hemel Hempstead by BMC Dan, on Flickr
Something to do with the Audi 100 NUTTER in Abbotts Langley no doubt.

1977 Audi 100 Coupe S in Hemel Hempstead by BMC Dan, on Flickr
An OMG URBEX visit to a hoarder's bungalow yielded the next trio. This supposedly US spec Koop would have probably been built to order by a worker at Cowley.

Needs sending round the oval etc

1984 Ford Granada Mk2 2.8 Ghia X in Hemel Hempstead by BMC Dan, on Flickr
This looks to have been in the UK since new, registered in Barrett town.

1954 Dodge Coronet in Hemel Hempstead by BMC Dan, on Flickr
BASE SPECK Y0. Fortunately wearing reversible mods too

1971 Ford Cortina Mk3 1300 L in Hemel Hempstead by BMC Dan, on Flickr
Excellent* paint skills

1983 Daimler Sovereign series 3 4.2 in Hemel Hempstead by BMC Dan, on Flickr
And finally something I've wanted to snap for ages, a proper, locally registered "Church and back home" motor that hasn't ventured very far in life. Turns out the owner and her son are right Skud nuts.

Lots of good quality there Dan! I feel a bit sorry for a nice looking F-Type Victor that has to live in a seaside town.

The stuff around the hoarder's bungalow is interesting, what's the house like?
I think that Seville Diesel has been on eBay several times, with a buggered engine as you'd expect.
