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

This site is quite old now so who knows what remains.

There lots of cars over here in the same situation I expect.

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.

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.
