Now that's a cool shot DA.    Unfortunately, the owner isn't making any money with them sitting there empty.  Maybe they were between jobs.  Just speculating and now rambling on.

I think they belong to the waste company,   they use these to move the rubbish out of London down the Thames.

Cheers Mr B.

You're welcome

Good find!

Well they are big enough to haul quite a bit of rubbish.  Now the question is - where do they haul it to?

They were moored right outside a lane fill. But the landfill is closed so where it goes now I don’t know.

Ps. All those cars in the shot the other day are parked outside a car body shop. I think some are donor vehicles.   Looking the company up they do some high end stuff like lambo’s.

Probably best we not know where it goes.

Always need a donor when you specialize in restorations, especially older restorations.

They're a really pretty color!

Looking at the website they do all sorts there,   good quality work too.

DowntownRDB Posted at 11-19 12:51

Hopefully to be recycled.

There are several specialty resto shops stateside but they do tend to be quite expensive.  However, in lieu of their excellent quality work I guess they deserve the big bucks.

DAFlys Posted at 11-20 02:00

Recycled would be ideal.  However, over the years many nefarious schemes for waste have been found.

For years the UK sent all out plastic waste to china,   they managed to keep that a secret for years.

Yes,  Ive been watching a documentary about a new retro shop shop thats being opened.  Theres some serious money in it if you can get the rare cars.

Great shot! Love the top down perspective. Looks like you had some sunshine this week too. All grey here today

Thanks Chris.  Same here today very grey and dingy.

Other countries did the same until China said no more.  You wouldn't believe how many plastic items I find on the ocean floor while diving.

Oh it definitely can be a lucrative business.  There is a retired entrepreneur in the Orlando area that has over 50 older classic cars.  He bought them over the years as "investments".  Today, they are worth 5-10 times what he paid for them.

I just found out that my little car is now worth about £3k more than it was new 3 year ago,   first car Ive ever had thats gone up in value.

Im not surprised,   Ive seen quite few "schemes" and inventions to try and clean the sea up.

Now that is quite unusual.  Here in the States a new car usually depreciates 35% in the first year.

Maybe some day they will come up with something that truly works properly.

I hope so,   as those micro plastics are scary and should be banned.

Its the only car Ive ever owned that went up in value,   my other car has gone up 4000 since the spring,   there is a company here called webuyanycar and they email me most months with an updated offer since I checked the value with them.

We've already polluted the landfills and now it appears the ocean is next.

I'm seeing a lot of car dealers try to buy used cars to sell due to the lack of new inventory.  My next vehicle will definitely be all electric.
