LHD, box arches and raised bootlid. Is that a genuine E30 M3 in white with dodgy Motorsport stripes next to it?

Ex Mitchell's Hire Drive depot in Rutherglen, just outside Glasgow.

Approximately 20 Transits, most 07 plate and one 58 and one 09 plate.

Not entirely sure of the back story, but at one time Mitchell's were probably the biggest van and care hire operators in Scotland. I think they sold out to Enterprise and I'm guessing another operation was started later using the same name and very similar logo. Clearly not a success!

Amazed they've not all been set on fire or completely trashed/ robbed for parts.

This has now gone , for scrap or saved ? who knows .

It was here for about 2 years and the MOT fail list was fairly trivial with the worst thing being a broken coil spring , also
tyres , wiper blades and a feeble washer jet spray .
There's also an E class that never moves here too .

Why does he need to replace the 8 that’s in it and have a spare 4?

MOT on the C4 expired 2 years ago. Low mileage too, only 35k in 2019 with no advisories.

Didn't get the other reg to check how long it had been but it also has flat tyres, very green.

That would still look like that if we’re parked in Mariupol steel works.
