Default Abandoned in Lincolnshire?

Or not as the case may be!

I've spotted a ZT parked up on the A15 Sleaford Western bypass, which has been there since Monday at least. Thing is, it's a country road, albeit a busy one, a good way out of town, and the car is parked in the entrance to a field, very easy to miss as zoom by

Looks to be in good order, registration is BG53AUV

Just might be someone working in the field next to the road, but there's no sign of any work going on, plus the car has sat in exactly the same position since first spotted....

Update: Just driven past it again, around 19:00 and still there. Pitch dark so not someone working in the fields, so possibly not looking good for it?
