This is at work, was in a shed outside one of the offices for the last 10 years or so because the owner (who used to work for us) died.

For some reason it was removed from the shed the other week and has sat outside since

Guys at work say they are worthless, seems a shame.

Whoever owns those Cossies and is letting them rot should be shot at dawn.

Sinful.

Why on gods earth would you have a Cosworth graveyard in your back garden?

Matt Cup · Nov 6, 2010

How the hell do you accumulate that many Cosworths???? Gotta be some serious money in that garden

What a f**king waste!

Daniel · Nov 6, 2010

that man is the soul reason cosworths are so expensive! He's taken the majority off the market!

midge · Nov 6, 2010

He owns a cosworth tuning/braking company, he cant fit them all in his workshop, they arnt left to rot, come are for braking, some for fixing, its been all over passion ford every other day for the last year!
i thinks its sweden or norway? its also a prime example of how google streetview can be bad, people can easily locate a place like this guys house and go and f**k his s**t up.

Matt Cup · Nov 6, 2010

Fair enough, but you would have thought that he'd try to keep them on a dryer surface other than grass :S

You know where they are? I'm guessing they're back in their home country somewhere?

That early Bay has my name written all over it...

Going back to the Cosworth issue, at least he's putting them to good use, I suppose!

Pete. · Nov 8, 2010

Saw this in the drive of the house in Goodwood Racing circuit grounds

Seems to do them up I think as I found an Aston DB5 there in the past.

There is a Ford Anglia parked up in a shed on a farm down the lane from the farm my dad grew up on in Ireland. Next time im back there I will grab a pic.

More money that they know what to do with, that car is the equivalent of a over metro for some of the rich f*****s in the far east.

My mate went to Dubai and went for a 4x4 trip across the deserts and he said he saw all sort of high value cars just abandoned in the desert.

Thats what happens when a westerner is about to go bankrupt (jailable offence over there). S they park up their Supercars, and get on the first flight back to England!!

Mot! · Nov 9, 2010

My old man told me that Daniel - even missing a payment is jailable apparently..

He said you'll drive up to the airport and as you're approaching, there are quite a few abandoned exotics

lamborgini8 · Nov 9, 2010

This has been abandoned in my area for god knows how long, I have never seen either of the 2 cars move though.

Ad Mayo · Nov 9, 2010

Thats the backend of a mk1 mr2 in front of that grey thing.

Derelict-UK · Nov 25, 2010

Some pics from my holiday back in July.

These were in South Belgium...

I could have spent hours in there but the farmer/owner is notorious for threatening violence to trespassers!

Forgotten Fiat garage.

This dealership was unearthed last year...

Theres quite alot of brand new, never registered cars there, mainly Fiats.

The owner went from being a Fiat car dealer to an Iveco commercial dealer & just left all the new, used & part exchanged cars where they were!

The owner then died & the son inherited the 200 or so cars last year (2008)

A dream situation!

He has been selling most of them, but the new unregistered cars cant be registered in Denmark (where the dealer is) due to them not meeting current emmissions etc regulations so will either be exported or go into private collections.

Mindblowing...
