And the dodgy looking Merc on the right with a white boot lid.
I think the Buggati is a Porsche Cayman underneath...?

Is it a Mercedes? I thought it was a Peugeot.

Right? I thought it was a C216 Mercedes at first, then saw the roofline which seems to be that of a Pug 307CC...

I thought this too, but the lights look wrong. They look like C209 CLK lights that have had the bottom half obscured by tape...

It's parked outside a different house. The house next door, in fact.

I've followed vale automotive for a while, the earlier renders looked much better and I don't think red does the design any favours, its a boxster underneath

Yeah but which one

Clearly 986 IYAM from 1996 to 2003

It could be a 996 with 986 Boxster door glass. But maybe that's wishful thinking. I think you can even see the join where the 'improvements' meet the original car above the windscreen where the Boxster roof closed.

Hopefully they've not used an original 2.5 boxster. Maybe they've stumped up the extra for a 3.2s 'monster'.

It is a 2002 3.2 looking on the DVLA

Almost looks like a dragster with the ridiculous wheel size variation!

I didn’t think to check the other side, maybe we have two more variations and it’s a rolling history of Mini wheel designs.

17" rear and 15" front? Tyre size comparison (sizes from a Google search) says it's a 0.3" difference in diameter and 1" difference in circumference. That might be interesting if it is 3 of 1 and 1 of the other
