myfirstboxster Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 In a car park in Newcastle today and saw a red Boxster with the worst faded paint I've ever seen on one , it was so bad it was turning pink in areas , I know red is susceptible to fading but this was a shocker , poor car must have spent it's life under the baking sun !

Mike G Posted April 14, 2017 Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 Possibly had a respray with paint inferior to Porsche' original finish ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hs0zfe Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 The other day, I was in a MB 280 SL. Shocking neglect (does anyone use pro leather care on their leather seats?) and the hood was a disgrace. Who are these people who own fancy roadsters, then let them go to seed?!?

topradio Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 I was on a farm recently and there was a silver 986 2.5 sat next to an old abandoned tractor. It had weeds growing around it and the paint and roof looked very sad, it also had a flat tyre and very rusty discs. I did think that it could be a good barn find but I wouldn't pay more than about a grand as it would need a lot of work and that's just what I could see. Unfortunately there's still lots of early cars for sub 4K,in very good condition, to justify reclaiming this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sazzy Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 There's a silver 2.5 near me, just sat on a grass verge outside someone's house on a housing estate. No rear bumper, just slowly going green. Such a waste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The seem to love to roost in Italian city trees. There is a pretty scruffy silver German Boxster abandoned at Malaga airport carpark, meant to get a pic last time I saw it.

Menoporsche Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 Yup. park under certain trees in Lisbon for a week going on holiday and yours could look like that, due to starlings as above. I took a pic of a Renault once. Think it's long gone though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rav Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 I took my family Audi A6 to Charlestown in Devon. One night and the seagulls used it for a toilet. A black car was totally turned white in a night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
