This screencap shows the view up Murray Road in Central. In the far background is the Murray Barrack Building which was famously "reconstructed" in Stanley. The government insists it was rebuilt brick by brick, but this is a lie. A new concrete core was poured and the building's external structures (pillars, balconies etc) were then hung onto the new structure. When it comes to heritage preservation in Hong Kong, take what the Govt says with a large pinch of salt.
I believe the structure on the right might be the old Furama Hotel which would put the car on the east section of Edinburgh Place rather than Murray Road. The old Murray Road carpark can be seen at the back left. This was demolished a few years ago and replaced by an enormous carbuncle called "The Henderson".

That is indeed the Furama on the right. You can see two different structural pillars, the shorter pillar behind and the taller one out front that went up a few stories to the canopy over the driveway. I was at La Ronda a few months before the hotel met its end.
Not sure what the car in the screencap is, but it looks like an Aussie Ford.
Thanks for confirming, Rodney.
