The Citroen Van is long gone sadly.  Didnt know that there was a Mini in there.

 

Before the collase, the Garage at the start of the tunnel let people go and have a look, providing they had saftey equipment and didnt take anything.

Thats a bizarre story! Are the cars all still there or have they gone now? Wonder what's going to happen to them?

The mini should still be there, the tunnel collapsed right at the end of the garage:

Plus 1 on both the Coitron and the fiat., 124 coupes are stupidly rare now. I can't remember the last one I saw.
