I don't think this W126 300SEL is merely just gathering dust anymore.

My favorite of all the Mercs. The glasses have been left open/smashed - clearly indicating that car is UP-FOR-GRABS for miscreants or dead-motor home for home-less.

I so wish I could revive her but I will need bank backing for that.

Guess this W126 had already done the rounds here.

I remember a comment saying it was vandalized pointing to the broken glass on the seat

Oh goodness, I must've posted this back then and completely forgot.

Mods, please go ahead and delete this recent post if necessary.

The last one looks like an early 90s Toyota Corolla II hatchback.

Saw this a few weeks back, is that a Crown? or a Nissan?

Has moved from this location as on yesterday, hopefully saved and not scrapped.

Looks like a Second generation (1990–1995) Honda Legend

Grill and lower bumper don't look original.

Looking at how it's sitting, it probably had a JZ motor that's now been donated to another car.

Oh my god, that Lexus! I can see why some of these cars land here, ie the Germans but the LS400 is a legend for its durability. Why on Earth are there this many Lexuses in India? How much I want to rescue that car...

That's a Toyota Mark II - had seen it in a better condition almost a year ago around Khar / Santacruz area.

Caught this nice E34 BMW mid way between Kochi and the airport

These above are cars abandoned after the flood in kerala in 2018.

Some Audi's are there too, along that stretch of road.

Was told about this Acura SLX lying abandoned in Bangalore, most likely the only one in the country. More info can be found on the car here.

Anyone has any idea behind the history of this one and how it ended up here?
