Suspect bankruptcy ... but don't be be fooled there is no security ... it will be there somewhere. And someone (bank) will have a lien on those cars somewhere be interesting to see what pops up in auctions in Germany in next couple of months though ... unless another dealer steps in and buys the lot, lock, stock and barrell.

Considering how close it is to the nurburgring I reckon it could belong to a rich person living elsewhere who comes up to the ring once a year for a play, hence the dust and flat tyres etc. Itd be nice to think that some of them are brand new cars still in the dealership though!  |

I would say private collection as well, The grass out side is to tidy for an abandoned garage.

My German is rusty, but from what I can read of that, it says "New cars, Used cars, Suzuki (new) year cars"
I think
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but the sign's kinda obscured

Private collection ora storage facility, IMO.
Lots of people keep cars in and around the area, despite living elsewhere. They pop to the ring when their time allows, take their car out of storage, thrash it for the weekend, put it back, then saunter home till the next time.

we don't have that much security over here, especially in that region of germany, where only a few people live. Everyone knows each other, without the ring the region would be totally unknown .... it looks like this used to be a Suzuki dealership and the owners just kept a couple of cars....

If you drive around the area you´ll find lots of old barns, filling stations,etc full of interesting old cars. .....worrying that after noticing the cars the next thing the OP noticed was lack of security. ..is it that bad in the UK nowadays? oh and thanks for posting |
