It might be an S2.

It's a 2.6 Audi cabriolet. S2 were all 2.2 5-cylinder turbo, I think, and (in the UK at least) all coupe or Avant.

Correct - plus the S2 was only made until 95 I think - that's later on an R plate

Correct. Two phases. 3B engine – five speed box /ABY engine – six speed box. Saloon version available in mainland Europe. I've nearly bought one on a few occasions but never crossed the Rubicon. Had a few Coupés – tough old things, but handle like porridge.

Audi 2.5 something. Not moved for around ten years I think!

Were you at the toy and train fair as well then?.....

I got a photo of that Audi back in 2016, I didn't think it looked too much worse than it did back then:

Can anyone ID the car Infront of the lotus?

Seems like an overeach by the council tbh.

looks like wheels of some Peugeot, but the model?

[soxboy]

Peugeot 406

[Turbobanana]

Assuming they're the original wheel trims, pre facelift 406 LX, most likely a 1.8 petrol or 1.9td.

Citrine yellow - relatively rare colour. Can’t be many left!

There are at least three in that photo!

Brings back memories for me, in fact, as I had an almost identically specified 2.0 Si Ghia Mondeo many moons ago. It was a hatchback, like the middle of the three pictured, and had the same RS bodykit and wheels. The interior came with full Ghia appointments and sports seats; wood on the dashboard, leather on the wheel, multicoloured cloth upholstery and accents, beautiful. The only differences were that it was metallic baby blue rather than Citrine and had a normal exhaust pipe - Citrines seemed to come with fake twins for some reason. Sadly mine was an all fur coat and no knickers sort of car; the 2.0 was never that fast in the first place and all the adornments made it heavier and slower. Looked fabulous, though, and was admired by all and sundry. Would have been quite something with the V6.

I remember one being on the ford stand at btcc. Hendy (sp?) edition with the cams fitted.
Rare to see one even when they were new.
Must be a story why the farm has 3 of them.

That actually jogged my memory of a house I walked past a couple of months back that was rammed with French sheds, just found it on Google streetview and going back in time it's quite sad

2008


2019 (after that it's too overgrown to see the cars properly but it looks like there's even more now when I last passed by).

D929YPN has no online MOT history, last log book change in 2012.

What's the motorcycle? Looks to be a 90's Suzuki of some sort.

Looks like a Suzuki RGV250 from the early 1990's.

Back lights look right for an rgv. Good shout.

I thought it looked similar too, its certainly got the same rear light, but on a n reg it would would have both exhaust exit on the same side and it doesn't look like a 2T exaust. It's got to be a early GSXR, maybe a 400?

It's registered as a 250 cc Suzuki 'unknown', colour red and white. I haven't a clue what it is, but cheated by guessing the number!

Exhaust is too small for even a 400, if you zoom in close it looks like there is an exhaust pipe but no silencer above the one still there. I'm 98% sure it's an RGV250, Indicators are correct, mirrors are correct, rear reflector is correct, H brace is correct, clocks look correct.

Lucky Strike colours?

A lovely car and greenhouse combo near South Nutfield in Surrey today. A Lancia perhaps?

It would be a shame if it's one of these.

[hidetheelephants]

Certainly looks quite like a 2000 coupe.
