Default Abandoned car find (from a couple of years ago)

Sad to see abandoned MG/Rovers! (cars appear at about 4mins in)

Comments are disabled, but such a collection of classic cars being left to rot and being vandalised is heartbreaking.

found this on the net
Urban explorer Colin Smith, 36, made the discovery in Gainsborough, Lincolnshire, while driving home from a job. The former plumber from Hampshire - known on YouTube as 'The Bearded Explorer' - spotted the long overgrown driveway of a mansion and decided to find out more about it

Gainsborough is about 9 miles north of me

The site has been cleared and the cars are long gone.
