About to be badly damaged, abandoned in the middle of the road like that? No wonder you took a photo of it!

Anyone seen a dirtier classic car aside from barn finds?

Not only dirty, but probably badly bend. The complete front is (poorly) resprayed and the gaps of the bonnet are very wedge like. It must not have been driven for quite some time.

Felix -

You should turn off your snow machine (the one running behind the barn on the right)!

You're absolutely right, I have no idea why those are running (it's a crosscountry course they use for competitions). Thing is, probably once it's xmas time all the snow will probably be gone anyway.

What a sensational looking car StevieG
It conjures mental images of Grace Kelly and 1950s French Riviera.

The Sera "Young Timers" were from the yard at Omicron - someone there in Norfolk has an eye for more than Lancias

This Alfa Romeo ES30 designed by Zagato, nicknamed "Il Mostro" is a rather rare car, only 1036 were ever built. Based mostly on Alfa 75 underpinnings. Too bad it is just sitting there being neglected. Worth at least 45.000 Euros if in better condition than this. The body is plastic by the way, maybe that is the reason for the discoloring on the front.
