I wonder if that reg plate hanging up belongs to one of the mini - NKG 832F

 

Nope it's a '68 Escort according to the web.

Some interesting history there! I think I'll spend a bit of time looking into that a bit more when I get home. That Janspeed Racer would fetch enough in the UK to make importing a few of those cars worth it.

 

I wonder if the current owner realises, or if anyone has ever approached him to make an offer for any of them.

Looks more like its predecessor the Mangusta. Awesome bit of kit. And one of those Lotus 7s looks like a series 4. RARE!
