could you start by using google maps / land registry office to find out who owns the land?

Could be a storage site for the local dealer and if he bought two he got 1 free, or has orders for them for 2024 registration.
Or Paramedic /police vehicles waiting prep.

They just have exquisite taste in motor cars, but then I am an ex Merc driver smile

Police use them so do ambulances, some government agencies, ahem, use V6 engined cars which are sold on ex police cars web site

One of the "authorities" has likely got a good deal from Skoda on a batch of vehicles where the spec is about to change / VAG stop supporting the "authorities" market but they have to be purchased and registered in the current financial year.

They need to be registered / allocated a fleet number and put on the fleet management system.

Heh, you could plug them all in and charge national grid to charge them and use for peak demand surge control.
