Neighbour kicking off about car

My neighbour popped a note through the door yesterday asking if we can put both cars on the drive as they're having people round today for a BBQ and would like people to be able to park on the street.
Technically we can fit both cars on the drive way, but you can't get in the garage or shut the gates at the end of the drive, and the cars need to be bumper to bumper and will still overhang onto the path a bit (you can still fit a buggy and wheelchair past). So usually we have one on the drive and one on the street. Street has plenty of parking, no issues here, plus the car on the street gets used most days so is really only there overnight.
So DH went out to work this morning taking the car from the street. I've had neighbour round banging on the door reminding me to put both cars on the drive and pointing to a random car that is parked just a bit up from our house that I've never seen before. It's the same colour as ours but definitely not our car. Neighbour is accusing me of lying and being difficult. He is adamant it's my car and I'm being unfair.
He's gone off in a huff but I can hear them in their garden complaining and talking about coming back to talk with me again.
I'm not worried per se but I'm a bit...antsy? I can't really prove that it's not mine, plus it's legally parked so I really can't see a problem other than them not getting their way.

AIBU to not put the other car on the drive when DH gets home just to antagonise them?

@AlmostSummer21

I'd take a photo of the other car showing the number plate.

I'd park my car on the street.

When he comes griping again I'd ask him how many cars he thinks you have???

Then I'd tell him that had he asked nicely and not accused my of lying I'd have accommodated his request at my inconvenience. However, I now do not feel inclined to help him out and will be parking on the road, as is my legal right.

Utter twat bag.
