Rotting Cars

We often take what we call "razoos" around Texas and see beautiful or rare cars rotting in fields, behind buildings or other unlikely places. After talking about it for a couple of years, we decided to start a blog. It is not our intent to embarass anyone, so identifying marks, such as license plates, will be eradicated to protect the owners' privacy. We know there are other car lovers out there who have moaned seeing a once-beautiful car falling to ruin. Here we can grieve together.

Barn BMW?

This looks like a barn or shed find to us. Last inspected in 1994 (or maybe 1984, I couldn't really read it). The dust layer made us think it wasn't out in the elements. Luckily, this gem is at a shop, where it may get the love and attention it deserves.

Another Jag

Another Jag, this one in a suburb of Houston on the ship channel. I suspect this one may have been underwater at one time due to the interior of the car (read extensive mold). This XJS is a V12, mostly intact but all four tires flat. Rear quarter panels and rocker panels starting to rust through. Agent P thinks the car was silver originally.

British Classic in an Unlikely Place

En route home from Houston, stumbled on this British jewel in a town near Brenham. Four almost-flat tires, inspection sticker from 2001. Looks like someone parked it and walked away.
