Brand new cars worth more than £200,000 left DUMPED on road gathering dust after maker suddenly went into liquidation

Published on April 16, 2025 at 07:53 AM

BRAND new cars worth more than £200,000 have been left dumped on a road after the manufacturer went into liquidation.

The Fisker Ocean , worth up to £43,000, have been lining Racecourse Road, gathering dust ever since Fisker went bust in October last year.

Multiple members of the public have reported the unusual and eerie convoy on various occasions.

It has been dormant with its factory stickers still in place for months, yet no move has been made to get rid of the three-tonne factory-new cars.

The Fisker Ocean for £30,000 to £43,000, yet it is unclear which model these abandoned ones are.

These specific abandoned vehicles have not yet been registered due to the absence of the manufacturer or the rightful owner.

Some of the cars still have import stickers on the windscreen, with model numbers and factory documents still lying inside them.

Locals have been trying to figure out how they got there and who is responsible for this ghostly convoy.

The local car dealership, Premium Central Performance and Prestige Cars told NottinghamshireLive that they were holding the cars for the company so that if they made a sale in Nottingham locals would have somewhere they could collect their new Fisker Ocean.

The car dealership had made a deal with the manufacturer to sell their cars.

However, after only selling four of the models, they had no interest in selling more as the company had liquidated.

Therefore, while they had these cars in stock, they were only storing them for Fisker in case they sold one in the local area.

Furthermore, when the company went bust in October 2024, the car dealership contacted the liquidators to inform them that they were moving the cars to a public road ready for collection.

They also warned the liquidators that Nottingham City Council would dispose of them if they were left on the road for too long.

Since then, Fisker and their liquidators are said to have not tried to contact the dealership or collect the abandoned vehicles, and the dealership is not in a legal position to sell them or use them for anything else.

Therefore, after repeatedly notifying the liquidators of their existence, the dealership relinquished themselves from responsibility for the vehicles by parking them on the public road and waiting for the local authority to deal with them – as they are not legally theirs.

Nottingham City Council issued seven-day removal notices on the vehicles on March 3, 2025, and they were still at the site as of Monday (April 14).
