Go about rescuing a poor neglected series?

Spotted one as I took a Detour into work this morning, took another drive past it a little while ago. I can only tell its not a series one but its an old M reg. Parked half into a bush, tires are all flat and genrally looks very sad for itself.

Not sure what I would say if I knocked on the door or how much to offer them for i if they say they are open for offers.

Any ideas?

I would find the owner first. Then have a good look aroung it to see if its worth saving.

Knock on the door and ask. They can only say its not for sale at worst.

Walked past it on the way to work for a while and it was definatly unloved and had been standing for a while. I got too curios one day and went and asked, glad I did, got a Landy for 400 quid  :D

I know of two landies parked outside two different properties that need to be rescued. One is a SII swb and the other a S3 station wagon.
Both are turning green.
