So I stumbled upon an old car garage that has been taken over by nature.
Within the garage is a Mk1 Renault Scenic and a Renault Fuego GTS but around the back are a selection of other cars many of which are virtually covered such is the length of time they’ve been sat there.

So, pics attached, and I’m not hopeful as I know they show very little detail. They’re hard to get closer to.

Anyone ID them?

Agree on the Escort. Think the other might be a Peugeot 405.

No chance on the others. Is there even a car in the first pic?!

The one on the left in pic 2 could be a Morris Minor.

The one in the first photo is a special from the early-60s, based on a Sunbeam Alpine. Definitely.

Can we have a picture of the Fuego? I still like these, you almost never see them for sale now.

Some fine examples of poly-bushing amongst that lot.
