Together with Martino (http://www.flickr.com/photos/martino_/sets) i made a small urbex trip in Belgium.

At the terrain of a big castle stands a abandoned house with a garage and a greenhouse.
Its not big but worth while to stop and make some pictures.


More pictures at the website.

:eek::eek:

I would love to know how you do it bartje!

An abandoned Rolls Royce of all things! The place looks wonderful. It must be part of a huge manor house?
 
You got to wonder when that roller last saw a road and how long it has just been sat there

I see someone got the angel off it though
 
That is such a beautiful place. I love greenhouses and all things gardeny...lol...so this is really interesting to me. Nice, quirky building, and a bonus with the Rolls Royce too. :mrgreen:
 
Wow...love that Roller and the greenhouse looks stunning...envious :)
 
Wow another great find! Another place that looks as if its from a vintage '28 days later' film! What happens to the people that once lived in these places! They cant have been in to having families or making wills!! Yet another good one well done! :mrgreen:
 
What a fantastic little find, and a British registered mid 70's Rolls Royce just sat in a garage? Incredible :mrgreen:
 
Road Tax should give a clue

According to the DVLA Date of Liability 01 01 2009

Indeed. Which means its been there less than a year. I wonder if it's stolen. I guess it should be reported just in case?

Date of Liability 01 01 2009
Date of First Registration 06 01 1976
Year of Manufacture 1976
Cylinder Capacity (cc) 6750CC
Vehicle Colour BLUE

Vehicle Excise Duty Rate for vehicle
6 Months Rate £101.75
12 Months Rate £185.00

But I'm shocked by how little the tax is more than anything! :mrgreen:

It's on a SORN by the looks of things so its signed off the road. 'Vehicle Status SORN Not Due'

Whereas if i put my car details in i get: 'Vehicle Status Licence Not Due'
 
Good point. I get the same for mine. The "Date of Liability " threw me because as far as I'm aware once you've SORN'ed your car you don't need to contact the DVLA until you want to tax it again. But I've never done it so don't know the details.

Still, it's odd that it's out there. I know theft of classic cars is on the up at the moment. A lot of the time they're coming in with lorries which can pick the car up off the ground. Someone had theirs stolen despite it being on their drive and being blocked in by their modern.
 
Just a quick question! How are you able to check the road tax etc on vehicles you see on the forum? Does it cost you anything? :confused:
 
If you don't get a return from a search it means the vehicle hasn't been taxed since the early 90's. That's because the DVLA put everything on computer then and before that the laws on SORN and buying/selling cars were different too!

For £2.50 you can get the address of a car if you know the numberplate. Even cheaper if you have a dodgy mate working for them (which I don't).
