Spotted this standing in the shadow of the tower(in Brixton)
If you look at the nr plate it gives you an idea of how long ago it must have since being driven.

Re: Bug........parked of for long time
I've toyed with the idea of asking after that Beetle, but haven't done anything. Given the number of "is that Beetle for sale" requests I get about my Beetle/s that are only visible from the road when my gate's open, I imagine they've heard it all before.
