Christabel... "Sir Leoline lives at "Langdale Hall," a supposed castle in the immediate vicinity of the poets' homes"
And in the poem are mentioned
"�*Bratha Head, Wyndermere, Langdale Pike*, etc. ... All of the places ... [are]... within a dozen miles of the Wordsworths' ... which was the home of Coleridge from 1800 to 1804"

Yes, all that, and it is a Toyota:
"THE RENTED TOYOTA, DRIVEN WITH SUCH IMPATIENT exuberance by The Senator, was speeding along the unpaved unnamed road, taking the turns in giddy skidding slides, and then, with no warning, somehow the car had gone off the road and had overturned in..."
