- The car park in Chengdu, China, is home for at least two Bentleys, two Land Rovers and three Mercedes Benz
- There's over 200 vehicles in various conditions that have been abandoned by their owners for different reasons
- Officials are struggling to decide what to do with the vehicles and weeds and bushes grow around the cars
These
startling images show an overgrown car park, where cars totalling
millions have been left abandoned and taken over by weeds.
Inside
this small lot in Chengdu, China, there are at least two Bentleys, two
Land Rovers, three Mercedes Benz and even the odd motorbike according
to People's Daily Online.
They all have one thing in common - they've been abandoned by their owners.
Where luxury motors go to die: One of
the Bentleys currently parked in the car park in Chengdu, which has been
dubbed 'tyrant's car park'
Abandoned: The vehicles have been abandoned by their owners, often over a space of years. Many were swallowed by the plants
Gone: Dust has gathered on the surface
as well as inside while vines and weeds have sprung up all around the
vehicles (pictured)
There are over 200 vehicles, dubbed 'zombie cars', in the lot.
The place they're kept in is called a 'tyrant's car park' because of the value contained in the storage space.
Some
of the cars have been kept in the same place for more than two years as
bushes and trees grow up around them, shielding them from the outside
world.
The
two Bentleys, one a Bentley Continental GT and another Bentley Flying
Spur, are worth at least 3 million Yuan (£300,000) each in China.
Then there's the Audi, Land Rover and Mercedes Benz.
Majority
of the vehicles are involved in ongoing criminal case either directly
or indirectly, which means they can't be claimed by their owners.
Others have been abandoned as they were ready to be scrapped or their owners lacked the correct paperwork.
The cars have become a headache for the local authorities, who struggle to decide what to do with them.
While some have been cleared for auctions, others continue to arrive and be stacked up in the graveyard of cars.
Huge: There are over 200 vehicles,
dubbed 'zombie cars', in the lot, including several luxury cars. Their
total worth is in the millions
Controversial: Majority of the vehicles are involved in ongoing criminal case, which means they can't be claimed by their owners

grow up around them, shielding them from the outside world
