Abandoned: The vehicles have been abandoned by their owners, often over a space of years. Many were swallowed by the plants.
Over 200 cars have been dubbed ‘zombie cars’, in the car park.
They’re are stored in a ‘tyrant’s car park’ because of the value contained in the storage space.
Interestingly, some cars have been in the park for more than two years  as bushes and trees grow up around them, thus enveloping them from the outside world.
