    That's what happens when you "collect" them, instead of drive them. I saw this out at my buddies dads.

    WTF is that nonsense? Those cars aren't meant to waste away like that, that's what El Caminos were made for.

    Honestly I can understand why some of those cars are sitting there. The E-type and ESPECIALLY the XJS' are horrid once they start to go bad. Like the cost of the repair exceeds the value of the car a couple times over. I've worked on some.

    There's something fishy about the way that f40 looks. I think it's a kit car.

    Yeah i think your right. There are some small differences. Here compare the 2. Like the Mirrors, the side blinkers........even the car looks shorter............and the inlets next to the back windows look smaller. Of course these could just be differences between years.

    LoL it's probably a ford probe or something with a faggy bodykit on it. Good thing we stopped Nick from finding and buying it.

    My grandmas old neighbor down the road had a Countach sitting in his driveway with paint cans and spider webs all over it, rotting away.

    That Veyron isn't rotting it's in a parking deck in Dubai, you can't keep dust away lol. Luckily he drives it.

    That F40 is FIZAKE

    Some of those are still worth hundreds of thousands all the way up to a million. Especially the 60's Italian cars like the Bizzarini.

    This is just rediculous. TVR blackpool plant might as well be moved if the best thing they can do is trash a Speed 12

    Man imagine the money you could make off these cars if you were to just go pick them up and restore them...Of course it would take a lot of money put into them...but it would be well well worth it!!!

    Also, I have an Xj6 that looks almost like in those pics, been sitting for a year on jack stands, tires inside the car. I put a LOT of silica packs in the inside though, and the tanks will both come out when i get working on it again. I haven't bought a cover for it yet. I think I'm going to hotrod that old bitch. Besides, after the mess yellow river collision made out of the paint (life time warranty) I'll have them do it again at some point.

    one of my all time favorite collector cars. Those can fetch over a million these days in perfect shape..

    And there is more than one!!!





    if all 3 of those were in perfect shape you could get anywhere for 2.5-4 million out of those and not barrett jackson 4 million, you could probably get it anyhow


    These are interesting because they are NEW cars and the ONLY new cars in here. Which means someone was here and driving these cars knowing that all the other cars were rotting???????? WTF

    3 Sagaris' and a TVR Cerbra. If i'm not mistaken the Sagaris come out in 06'?? Maybe 05?







    What I want to know is who has access to all of these cars within the last 2 years but doesn't do anything???? This is a gold mine how it is. The only explanation I could think of would be if they are pre production models and therefor can't be sold, yet can't be used on the street because liabilities?? Also if they are someone like Sadam's cars they clearly show that he has been leglecting them for 20+ years..I understand being rich but rich enough to ignore 15-20 million?
