I'm looking at the template to appeal a "fine".

it gives the following options but I don't think mine circumstance is covered here.

I am appealing as was sat in my car and did leave my car there unattended.

"• The alleged contravention did not occur
Quite simply, the parking attendant got it wrong and the vehicle was not parked inappropriately at the time the ticket was issued. This is due to the fact [insert reason here]. Please see attached evidence, [explain your evidence here & include and refer to documentary evidence if you have any], as proof of my claim.

• There was insufficient signage
The car park in question has no clear signage to explain what the relevant parking restrictions are. This means no contract can be formed with the landowner and all tickets are issued illegally. Please see attached evidence, [explain your evidence here & include and refer to documentary evidence if you have any], I have gathered as proof.

• The vehicle was not parked on the land in question
You issued a ticket for supposedly breaking your parking restrictions yet the vehicle was actually parked [insert where you parked] meaning you had no authority to issue a ticket. Please see attached evidence, [explain your evidence here & include and refer to documentary evidence if you have any], as proof.

• Mitigating circumstances
There are mitigating circumstances to explain why the vehicle was parked where it was and the charge should be waived for this reason. Please see attached"
