Real reason a Ford Capri was left untouched on a driveway for 32 years

A man has finally revealed the real reason a car has been left to rust on his grandad's drive for more than 30 years, dispelling the stories told by local residents. The rusting Ford Capri has been a topic of curiosity amongst locals, who often wondered why the car was left untouched since the 90s.

A recent stir arose after the famous local landmark was finally removed from the driveway it sat on for 32 years. Jordan Davis, 22, was surprised by the mounting interest in his Grandfather's story and decided to finally reveal the mystery behind its origins.

His late-grandfather, Noel Jones, was well-known and passed just earlier this year at the age of 81. The grandfather-of-three bought the Capri in 1972 and travelled in style for 18 years, until he was forced to stop driving because of a slipped disc.
