Thanks! I'm familiar with the "classic" VW Karmann Ghia with the little "grilles" on the front end.

Yep, that's the Type 34 K-G (aka VW 1600) which was never exported to the US. I'm not sure why except that they sold every Type 1 they could make.
 
It did look a little like a BMW 1600/2002 from behind but like the Bimmers it was heavily influenced by the Corvair>
 

 
I think there's another Jag MkII parked in front of the one that's behind the van.

I know a number of those made it to NA as private imports...I know there are a couple floating around my area, unless the worthless greenback has seen them re-imported.
 
Quite a few cars copied the Corvair in some ways. It's really a shame one of GM's progressive cars was doomed.

The front end says "Montverdi" to me, but I have no clue about the model.

Looks like the European Accord from the mid 90s, but there were some odd offshoot names for some models, I think. Pretty sure those are Russian plates.

The yellow car is a Jensen of some sorts?

That is a Euro spec Accord, 93-96 I think.

Nope, Fintail had the right idea, it is a Monteverdi, anybody know which?
