It’s bad enough when some ones laziness lets their old car rot away in their back yard. But this guy intentionally bought running complete cars just to let then rot in the woods. You know for art.

Yeah. It says he’s a car collector. But really not. Because holy shit there’s a Tatra there.

A Grand Wagoneer died to make this.

Eccentric piece of shit.

It’d be great if random gearheads everywhere just started wrenching on them behind his back.

Ladies and gentleman, I do believe the words “pretentious prick” are in order here. Excuse me for saying so.

Somebody please castrate that man. I don’t want him to reproduce.

That might be worse. At least these cars might be restorable when this guy dies.

Artist? What the hell. Has this dude ever been to a junk yard.

At least that took a little thought to achieve. Still wouldn’t call it art.

That is indeed the iconic rear end of a Tatra.

Does England not have a version of the EPA? I’m surprised he’s allowed to just let these rot on his property like this.

Art is pretty hard to define, by I would say one thing that is required is that some one out effort into it. What this guy has done it take art some else made, and left it out to let rust and moss consume it.

all of this could have been made better if at the end he said, but I’m going to restore them one day to pristine condition

It’s the dude’s stuff and if he wants to let it rot, so be it. None of the cars I saw were especially rare, all things considered. Mind you, it’s not what I’d do but I see what he’s going for.

I have to admit, patina is pretty cool sometimes. And I like “ruin porn” as much as the next guy.

But this crosses a line for me.

That means he found a running Tatra and let it rust. Honestly I wouldn’t care if these weren’t really rare.

More money than sense strikes yet again. This is taking the theory of “ruin value” that some Victorians and Speer embraced, to a new high. Maybe some of these should be “liberated” via any means necessary, but I suspect a lot of these are lost causes.

see, the great thing about art is that it is subjective. for instance, he was trying to make a statement about the power of nature. But I see it as more of a statement of “I am a fucking toolbag. I live for it. I rub my money in other people’s faces, because I can essentially afford to destroy antiques as I please.”

He’s a vintage car dealer, with a somewhat special taste. This is his daily driver.

There was a timelapse of the guy building it on YouTube but I can’t find it now.

If the car was beyond repair then sure dress it up and let it decay for ‘art’ (wanker) but if he’s deliberately letting a piece of good condition automotive history die needlessly then even though they are his cars, he’s paid for and can do what he wants with. It doesn’t stop me wanting to punch him in the face repeatedly.

That’s another thing he’s specifically found rare cars. Aside from the beetle. Even the Buick and the Willies Jeep, those must be pretty rare in the U.K.

Yeah ve seen lost of great picks of cars in the woods, that were left behind 70 years ago because they crashed and we just left there, or broke down and were abandoned back when saving a 53 Buick didn’t make sense. But this another thing.

So he is some one who does understand the value and appeal these car have. And instead thought “no I’lol just let plants grow though them instead.”

Right. He wanted them to be rare. And it’s just stupid because now they’ll require work to get running again. He calls them regular used cars but they’re really rare. That’s just stupid money at that point.

Damnit picture got kinja’d. (Edit: Again!!! Anyway he drives and old Rolls that once burned down. It’s fully restored but not repainted, keeping the burnt out look on the outside. Google: Michael Fröhlich Rolls Royce)

And yes. He knows EXACTLY what the cars are worth, so my guess is that while they might still technically be “running”, they are far from pristine examples.

I think he wants to be like that Czech guy who had amassed a huge collection of vintage cars after WWII, but most of them were left out in the open and became quite decayed by the 1980s. The collection was actually rather beautiful in its decayed state. But most of what made it so was that it actually was natural . This guy won’t ever have that for several reasons: his woods is well maintained, so it doesn’t look natural, the cars are arranged in gimmicky, tasteless ways, and the cars were selected for aesthetic reasons instead of just him hoarding whatever old boats came his way.

Automobile Quarterly did an issue about the Czech collection back in the 1980s, if you can find that issue it is pretty amazing.
