A lonely silver Renault has been neglected on private land for so long, it has merged with a neighbouring hedge.

Sitting on a grassy lot in Plymouth, the sedan hasn't been touched in over three years,

Incredibly, the landowner said the vehicle is still apparently in good working order, with just a few "gearbox" issues.

Slowly being swallowed up by a mass of vegetation, the Renault has an official Statutory Off Road Notification from the DVLA, meaning it can legally be left parked on private land for as long as the owner desires.

Regardless, if they do ever want to drive the beast again, they better act quickly before it is lost to the tree world.
