So on the way to the gym I drive past this garage and always wonder what the cars are inside as they're always covered up. Not sure if they're for sale or what but there's a little office attached. So anyone identify them or know who's they are?

Ferrari F40 in the red in the middle
Possibly a Porsche 959 in red behind the F40, on the left in the blue possibly a Radical?
These are all just guesses as pic is hard to see on my mobile.

I believe that place is Lanzante. The place to go if you have a McLaren F1 that needs work so I understand.

They belong to Adrian Newey.

Edit to say.. I bought a car from a man who lives very close to that place, he was very knowledgeable and seemed to know a few people. He said Newey leaves them there.

Just googled it, the one in blue looks like that is a old F1 Renault with elf colours used by Prost.

There's a vintage Bentley place a few miles up the road that's worth a look.

Far right (yellow car) I think is a Mclaren F1 long tail race car and back left may be a standard F1

That black longtail isn't in the first picture but it was the mclaren development car and was driven by Kenny Brack at the Goodwood festival of speed 2014. Worth a watch http://youtu.be/2RaWswWqCLI

And even better was his practice runs at Shelsey Walsh (for noise) http://youtu.be/L1tWP9R8f40

And you can't mention Kenny Brack without his incredible drive in the wet in a GT40 at the revival http://youtu.be/1jF__B1xpJY

Wow thanks guys, really good knowledge there! Shame the covers are always on, though I guess if there was an F40 in there I'd spend all day outside staring in biggrin
