I'm not sure that the red car in the first photo is a Ferrari. It looks like a rebodied MR2.

bit of an odd mix

some obviously are in a collection and waiting to be restored, some are write offs and some seem to be covered in dust/sand and I suspect were found in the Iraq invasion or some such

The Ferrari is a replica. It's been posted on here before.

EDIT: Sorry. The first Ferrari, I meant. As per Welshman.

I find the yellow elise the strangest one, surely that should genuinely be on the road.

The rest of it looks like my Dad's drive!

TVRs are evidently mules/prototypes.

Most are write offs/old rubbish.
