Council workers called out to clear an overgrown garden were amazed to find an old Ford Escort under the weeds.
Shrubs had grown over the motor in its neglected resting place, in Slough, Berkshire, reports the Daily Mirror.
Sarah Hines-Randall, who led the council clean-up team, said: "We were astonished at the amount of vegetation but even more so to find an Escort rusting in the undergrowth."
Neighbours had moaned about the rats living in the back garden but householder Annis Dodds ignored a legal order to cut it back.
A neighbour said she was not surprised the 30-year-old car was found.
She said: "The garden was horrendous and completely full of rubbish. I can only hope it is kept tidy now."
Mrs Dodds was fined £500 and ordered to pay £1,000 costs to Slough council.
