Came across this on my travels, don’t know if anyone has seen it on here before (or the owner maybe on here!).

Hasn’t moved in 11 years when it had its last MOT at just 48,000 miles.

Covered in cobwebs and flat tyres all around.


Have another picture but won’t upload.

Reg was TVR 10X

Nice project if the Owner can be traced and is willing to sell.

If it's in a public place, I'm surprised it hasn't been towed away or trashed by scrotes.

It's actually declared SORN according to DVLA, so the registered keeper apparently knows about it.

Back in 2008 it was an annual requirement, but not since 2011. So it could have been declared SORN up to 8 yrs ago and then forgotten about. frown

Makes sense, the bonnet was popped open slightly so I recon something has gone bang and it’s never been repaired...

Car was in a small countryside industrial estate with no garage around it... probably why it hasn’t been vandalised

Looks like it’s in the same condition as mine.

Only difference being, mine’s just been for a drive smile


Edit... Leaving the bonnet open, could be as simple as being prepared to return to a flat battery.

That is going to be in a very sad condition left outside for that long.

That is sad. And it doesn’t say much about the marque that the owner prefers to abandon it and leave it to rot rather than sell or restore it.

Edit: looks to be in good pre-neglect condition

What a waste frown Must be something serious or expensive you'd think? Hopefully not a broken crankshaft......

When we first started seeing stories of rotten chassis on here, it tended to be the 98 cars.

So that’s a possibility.
