    130 Coupe Abandoned in A Tunnel

    Well I'm going to be brave again and raise my head above the parapet after entering into an intial conflagration about which version Lagonda GoPawel had

    I normally post across on Pistonheads but also thought you guys might appreciate this one that I found.

    It used to be pretty common that the railway arches in the UK became home to garages and workshops - one such case being this one in Liverpool.

    It would appear that some of the cars from this garage have never been collected and therefore just park/abandoned at the back and an erstwhile explorer/trespasser/snooper has managed to photograph them.

    I'm not brilliant on posting pic's and though this worked in Preview it doesn't appear on your site correctly

    Just click the title

    Enjoy

    I removed the link you posted, because it had little to do with the topic at hand. (and you have no idea how many posts we currently have to delete because the spambots are regular visitors, posting five messages at a time).

    This post though is spot on
    and it is a shame to see this beauty looking far beyond repair. I remember seeing a 130 sedan about ten years in traffic....in Turkmenistan, wondering whether that car is still going. It will not be rusting there, but spares could be a problem.

    Neat photos that appear professionally lighted and shot, maybe even brought there for the purpose. If these really are abandoned they couldn't have lasted there long. The Rover and Citroen especially don't look that clapped out for rotting under a bridge.
    Never own more cars than you can keep charged batteries in...

    They shouldn't be too awful - the Rover's registration expired in 1995 while the Citroen's expired in 2000 - meaning that they haven't been abandoned as long as the white Fiat coupe (1992), for instance.
    I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.

    What are the laws on something like that. If a car is abandoned in a public space what are the rules for claiming it and taking it somewhere as your own?
