There are a few vehicles on British plates that i have seen parked up for some months. When I look at their details on DVLA, all are out of MOT and tax, and therefore I have to assume they are abandoned due to the 30 day rule post brexit. If you intended to apply for residency you had 30 days to get rid of the vehicle, or register it on Spanish plates (expensive!).

Thats what made me think of the challenge, as almost weekly I pass a Renault camper convrrsion that has not moved since at least August 2019.

I'm heading to West London on Tuesday, there's a good chance I'll have a few to choose from unless my colleagues have actually sorted them out.

I did, got two separate ones in fact. Just need to work out how to upload. :D

Three in this photo - the Mitsubishi car and the Mercedes Sprinters:

They might not look it, but the Citroen Picasso and the Vauxhall Astra are both dumped. You can't see it from this photo but both cars have flat tyres and layers of dust (inside and outside) and the windscreens of both cars have writing all over them. We think the garage from the next door estate has dumped them because they're beyond economical repair.

I've just got in and I rode past at least two, I went to see if any dinghies were sailing, it's one of my favourite stops when it's windy.
It's lashing it down now though, so I don't fancy going back out.
