Boy! you guys are sharp. Thanks for the info. The Armstrong Siddely was bad enough, but how could you tell that it was a Kitcar from such a small glimpse?
Anyhow here's a better photo of the Beetle-based imitation Porsche.
It will need an American to identify that Brown one. I can't remember what it was but it was late sixties or very early seventies.

I couldn't tell, but given how valuable even a rotten 956 is worth it's unlikely that you'd find one in a scrapyard so the balance of probability said it was a kit. Identifying it as a 956/kit was possible because the windscreen shape is quite distinctive, as is the upturned bathtub shape of the bodywork.Anyhow here's a better photo of the Beetle-based imitation Porsche.

Can someone identify the model of this car?
The coconut tree will tell you that this yard is in the Caribbean, Jamaica to be precise.
Looks a great yard. Any more photos ?The coconut tree will tell you that this yard is in the Caribbean, Jamaica to be precise.
That camper van / minibus beyond the Minor looks interesting.
Anyone hazard a guess at the brown car (only the side wing showing) to the left of the Jag ?

Seems strange, those are brand new Belgian plates.
In Belgium plates are allocated/registered by owner and moved from car to car and hence the actual plate will either be older or newer than the car it is fixed to.Gassing Station | Classic Cars and Yesterday's Heroes | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
