We have a Landrover dealership sitting out midway between Godalming and Guildford, with a forecourt full of Range Rovers (and a smattering of other models as well) with destination stickers for some very weird locations

If you click on the image you should be able to read the note on this particular Range Rover which is going to Mongolia! Among the other destination was numerous places in Africa and Russia. And their lot seems to always been full of cars going to these places.....

And no used cars whatsoever, or for that matter any cars outside for sale, just 2 in the showroom.
