Yes I would say so. I have seen a few at that garage.
TR7 Wheel
TR7 Wheel
https://www.triumphtrs.co.uk/wheels.htm
This is the factory fitted alloywheel, RKC2111, made by GKN from 1976 until 1981. Each one is date stamped and the 1976 ones are the rarest , only 50 sets of 5 being made in that year. The only real variation is RKC2111S the bright silver wheel made for the US only Spider limited edition. The 1977 ACN TR8s and the genuine TR7 sprints had wheels painted in a greyish silver rather than the usual pewter, they also have 77 cast into the rim to show when they were made. The original equipment centres are chrome plated, after market ones are aluminium and are a loose fit in the wheel centre.

Blue truck not a Tuk Tuk but I think you are right with the BMW Isetta, the lights are a good match and different from a Heinkel which I thought could be a possibility.
Very probably a BMW Isetta

Well done, two down James . That would be my best guess. I have put the lights from all 4 on the "lights thread" here. viewtopic.php?p=659807#p659807 May help with the other two.

Just looks at pictures of an Isetta, and (while ours is missing the front bumpers) the engine vent is a good match. I wonder if the red and black car is a Tribant?

Yes I think thats what it is too

Here is a bit more of the other two. Of the two the little red one was in the best condition, but the black one the most interesting for me.

My guess on this one would be an Autobianchi Bianchina

I'd go for these two:
BFTW Autobianchi Bianchina

Although the A112 is more like it but I can't find a decent picture!

And the black one:
BFTW Fiat Topolino
