Sorry looking split screen
A very sorry looking split screen moggy in a pub car park in Nottinghamshire
It’s a late example dating from August 1956 and currently running a 948cc engine
( the photos shown were only taken two days apart )

Re: Sorry looking split screen
Some kids threw stones at it and jumped on the roof etc , the sign was asking if anybody had seen them
Re: Sorry looking split screen
It's a warning to the local toerags that CCTV covers the whole car park an the local schools have been informed of youths damaging cars with a picture of one of them.

Re: Sorry looking split screen
Pics taken from opposite side so drivers side could be just rust on top. Passenger side not fully in view.
Why doubt the OP?
Regards Bill

That’s the same view without the snow

Re: Sorry looking split screen
I love the crusty rusty look myself but yes a very sad little car...
Hopefully someone can give it a warm and dry place to rest and possibly get it back up and running again...
Thanks for sharing.

Re: Sorry looking split screen
Well it either belongs to the Pub Owner/Landlord or they have some sort of arrangement to keep it there, because it's been off the road for at least 4 years, Tax was due Feb 2021....
In a presumably unrelated case, Mildred the Minor is seemingly still lurking in a Hull Car Park......

.The strangest thing about Mildred is that, even though it’s abandoned and no one seems able to determine the identity of its owner, it has its parking bills up to date. We first reported on Mildred in the summer of 2021, and today, it’s back in the spotlight. Consider this an update, even though it doesn’t bring much novelty with it: the maroon Morris is still parked on the third level of a multi-story car park in Kingston upon Hull in North-Eastern England, and parking is still up to date, the Mirror reports.
Not much has changed about the car’s status, either: its MOT hasn’t been renewed since 2017, it hasn’t been taxed since 2019, and nothing about it shows up on the DVLA (Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency) website. It has not been moved and nothing about its condition has changed, but someone is still paying parking for it. Because of this, the report notes, the car is not legally abandoned; just parked indefinitely

Re: Sorry looking split screen
I've been unable to verify the info.
Could be a load of old Rollocks, it is an alleged US farcebook page, which claims to have covered it before, but the 'info' shows up as ....
Boston, MA, United States, 10170
Address
Cabritaberg, US Virgin Islands, US Virgin Islands
Service area
With a map of Bangkok!!
