I've removed the location, they look a little vulnerable.
Amazed that TR is just left like that.
Fair enough, bit of a faux pas on my part. Looks like a time warp, like 25 years after the apocalypse! For all it's faults this is a good perk of being a courier, you get to see some hidden gems. Pulled onto one driveway the other week and was presented with 3 immaculate TVR's, wedge, Tuscan and chimera. Perfect. Amazed that TR is just left like that.

I think so, wanted longer to poke around but I was up against it. There's some interesting looking metal behind the roller shutter too.
Those cars are well known about and have featured on many forums.N5 NRO said:

It looked the absolute bks; very tidy, with an aero screen. He was really going, so I speeded up from 80 to keep up with him. After a spell at 100 I backed off and let him go. Did my soul good to see it. And his even more I suspect.
A favourite photo of mine..
So yeah, obviously a bit of a DIY enthusiast. Perhaps started on the car and then the house took over, I'm sure they'll both be in fine fettle soon enough:
The photo is a few years old (2008), and sadly a DVLA check is not working on the BMW suggesting it's been scrapped. However, I did check it's liability a couple of years ago and it had been off the road since 1997! Nevermind the Mini ahead of it..
