Classic Blue SAAB BNJ968K 1971

[roywj]

Anyone else noticed the old Blue SAAB which seems to be moved around the area and is parked for years on end? It was parked on Village Way for around 3 years until they brought in the CPZ and was moved to East Dulwich Grove for another few years until that CPZ came in.

Today I saw it on Rosendale Road parked in the middle of a new cycle lane so expect it will soon move again! Shame as it is a bit of a classic but has been left to deteriorate over the years. Others have noticed it too, see the link below from when it was on East Dulwich Grove

Nope but there is a classic Jag and a Ford Consul disguised as a NY taxi on the pavement by Moor Park/Wood Vale rusting away.

The Saab is taxed but not MOTd - it is not quite exempt but that is someone else's business. I was gifted a slighly older Saab which was a non-runner but could have been sorted. We parked it in a quiet street in Liverpool but never saw it again. If you don't register your vehicle as stolen with DVLA it stays in the system so I check from time to time whether any of my three stolen vehicles turn up. I expect they were broken for parts many years ago.

These are not 'on the pavement' but on a part of the frontage which belongs to the property in front of which they are parked. Elsewhere on that stretch you will see that 'owned' part fenced off. Not mine, but I know whose they are.

Paved private area by the shop, happy now? And registered as off road. I can write a letter to to the Times apologising if this is not clear enough.

You may have known, but others may not, and it is in a thread talking about 'old' cars parked on the public highway and being moved around. The use of the word 'pavement' may have led readers to assume these were up on public pavement/ footpath.
