If any are to be saved it should surely be the rover 216 gti in the rather fetching shade of Jordan pink.

Re: Interesting Site!
This site is quite old now so who knows what remains.
There lots of cars over here in the same situation I expect.

Re: Interesting Site!
It's entirely possible I could re-route the 2015 Challenge via Rochechouart, where many of these cars resided. It's between Angouleme and Limoges, so not far off the planned route. Anyone interested? 
I think this might be it: It's a Citroen garage, it's in Rochechouart (the only field with cars in I can see there), and on Streetview it seems there might be things of interest lurking. I'll ask someone I know who is French to give them a call.

Re: Interesting Site!
I am working on it!
Funnily enough I think I have been there, ooo, 12 years ago. Driving a van you can see over the fences etc and great for spotting junk. Trouble is I cannot remember much about it. I thought we stopped as there were about 5 DS and some misc Snails and Mike M fancied a look. That would suggest it was a Citroen garage or a independent doing Citroen. But my memory is not what it was. The French garages tend to have a collection of duds out the back for budget repairs for their regulars. This is not far from Mortmatre? where the entire village used to be full of ex-military vehicles.
I did not Porn was allowed on this site
