I’m just going assume that this is fake and that photoshop, not neglect, is to blame for this Jaguar XK and Porsche 356 racer rusting away amongst the trees.
Update: Ugh. A few emails from readers and Frederik’s comment on Facebook have confirmed that these are indeed authentic. One of whom pointed me to this article about a German who purchases vintage cars and allows them to rust in his “garden” as a sort of art project. What an asshole.

This looks like a automotive realist painting of a sad subject.
No fake: The photo was taken in the garden of german classic car dealer Michael Fröhlich. He lets a whole collection of famous, valuable cars rot away under his trees, calling it “art”. I am calling the whole thing “the art of being a moron”. His message is nothing but “Hey, I’ve got money to burn, and you don’t!” – really disgusting…
Concur, total Dbag,

The “XK120” in the foreground is definitely a kit car, I never saw a fibreglass XK and never seen, except on a kit car, that weird shaped grill. ugh, needs burning.
