and what are those cars under those car covers... those covers also are ripped through the years, but those must be a bit better I guess? why else cover those.



I also see some kind of BMW aftermarket CSL like front spoiler or )2002 or 3.0? coming out under such cover? >



and is that a red Fiat Uno? looks reasonable from this angle, maybe a turbo :-)

Front left has what looks like a reverse slope rear window, so maybe a Ford Consul Classic?

Are the arches part of the rented? property? If so, what, I wonder is in them? Are they deep enough for vehicles?

Looks too shallow. Maybe a 914

Yes. My uncle had one new, in exactly that colour. Lovely from some angles, awkward from others.

They are railway arches with doors on the compound side, so yes, deep enough for more cars.

I don't remember Lotus Elites and Eclats being terribly common back in the '70s and '80s, and yet there seem to be loads of them lying around now.

Looks to be one those from VAG yes, my initial optimistic thought from was a Charade GTTi, but the boot and rear lighting area is totally wrong.

I might be seeing things but the dark coloured coupe right at the back looks like a VW Type 34 or BMW E9 to me....

So, the more valuable/rare stuff is in the arches then? Or would that be too logical? wink

Wonder if the A40s have been moved into them? smile

Knowing exactly where that compound is, I'm genuinely surprised that there's anything of any worth at all left. It's a very much less than lovely neighbourhood.

could be, although the roof looks lower, top to rear hatch, then with a 914, also a 914 hatch at the end slopes downwards or how you say that, but maybe this one has a rare sort of spoiler on the hatch?

Maybe indeed , but then I don't see the petrol filler?
