I've seen some sights over the years. The latest was a couple of nice convertibles stored in a barn. The barn had openings that birds could get through. The cars had their tops down and no covers. They were covered in dust and guano, inside and out.

Years ago when i was driving buses, one route in particular (on Sundays only) had the bus coming down into a village from a different direction to the usual service buses. There was a bus stop just across the road from a house with a large drive which had two cars under tarpaulins. One of them was obviously an E-Type, the other would have been a bit harder to identify for even a run-of-the-mill car enthusiast. Not for a super nerd like me though!, i immediately identified the sharp edges and proportions under the tarp as being a Maserati Khamsin,

During the 5.5 years i drove the buses, it never moved, and what bodywork could be seen at the bottom, was rusty (as was the E-Type), so a project of monumental proportions for some brave soul!.

A bit more recently, a customer of mine had a BMW M6 sitting on the driveway. Very sad and forlorn looking, dusty with cobwebs and moss round the rear lights!. Wasn't a huge fan of these, but it was kind of sad to see this 500bhp machine in such a state. It has gone now, hopefully to someone with the enthusiasm and funds to resurect it, look after it (and keep it in clutches!)
