It's a Glenfrome Facet. It was made in the late 80's based on Land Rover Range Rover.

I remember reading an article about him some years ago.

Correct me but as far as i know, in Emirates, Registering RHD Cars is not allowed unless ether it's 30 years and older (which then could have special "classic cars" registration which's i believe is a bit more restricted but it depends on the car) or probably having some inside connection or relatives with that said thing/job (it's called "wasta" and yep it's a thing that sadly exists). Anyways those who imported RHD Cars usually send them to some mechanics where they could convert them from RHD into LHD so they could register them.

As you can see in the video, some of them have been converted already while others yet to do. And yes while it's not exactly abandoned cars, some of them are probably sitting there collecting dust.

I want that R33 from the first video.

If noone is using those cars, can I please have a R32 from one of those videos? I'll take care of it, I promise!

I've just moved into a new apartment, my block has an underground carpark and this Delorean is parked few spaced from my designated space. Looks like it hasn't moved in years, the interior is literally falling apart. There'a also a Merc SEC60 W126 and a G-Wagon in the immediate area, both in similar condition.

What's the deal with the futuristic police car?

 

[Zychotic1]

almost positive its from a movie... was thinking something like ROBOCOP 3 or something most people probably never heard of but I can't seem to find it.... the cars I'm finding from the probably abandoned robo-remake are outfitted very similar... the car from the first 2 was rather basic

If you reverse image search the pictures it brings you to a page where it's stated that someone has just tried to make their Taurus look like a Robocop cop car.

 

[Zychotic1]

went pretty far to do it... if you notice its actualy a mercury Sable with taurus SHO doors.... the body lines between the two cars are actually different enough to make this not exactly a bolt on... but then again that may be why the back doors aren't fully closed and line up for poo

I suspect you're the only one who did.

That poor, poor, poor, poor, poor, poor, poor, poor Tatra though.

That makes sense, 70' Chevelle beat down and not even attempted to be restored..."not 4 sale"

Also the super bee is just sad and a ton of money just sitting there rusting away.

Saw this out in Tombstone, AZ.

I almost cry when I see pictures like this.

How could anyone do that to a car?

I know but then again it's just bunch of bolts and steel.

Here's an original Holden HJ Kingswood Taxi with original signage and 2 way cab sign light on the roof, found in Sydney Australia

Can I post a cycle? Normally I wouldn't think of it honestly but this one has special meaning. You see I own it and it sits in my backyard.

I rode it pretty hard for probably 4 years but when I had my first kid I decided to stop riding and didn't want to sell it so...

Lets see if I can do some maths, I guess that has not moved in 22 years. It's an 1980 kawa kz1000 if you can't tell, it could move pretty well in the day.

 

[Dennisch]

Hold on to it. Perhaps do a bit of restoration, older bikes are getting worth a pretty penny nowadays. I found out about that after buying (stealing) my 1976 Honda for €250.

 

[xyloscissor]

wow.

Any chance of some form of explanation? That's just weird...

It was at a spot close from an area full of car garages and manufacturer maintenance services. I don't know anything about how it ended up there but i'm pretty sure it wasn't there couple months ago.

 

[Ferraridriver27]

These are sitting like this since I can remember. Come Summer come Winter they're just rotting away.

 

[AlvaroF]

That Fiat Coupe and the E9 rotting away, what a shame... And the others as well, but those two
