A bit more tartan from this one. You get 10 points and a family sized tube of Smarties* if you can guess the car this is sitting in

Well I know the TR7 had a dabble in tartan, and I did see a special edition Citroen Visa which had the Tartan too, but I'll have a paddle around and come up with something better.
One of those answers has earned you a family sized tube of Smarties
You can claim your Smarties subject to the terms and conditions - which stipulate that they must be collected from here by you within the next 24 hours. You better get on your bike

Well I would walk 457 miles
and I would walk 457 more
to be the man who walked 914 miles
to collect a family pack of smarties.....
but only if it was in a large and recyclable cardboard tube!
not this plastic bag thing!

Its lovely but its a pretty old-fashioned looking crate for 1970. I mean concorde had made its first flight and the yanks had been to the moon! Reg details describe it as a Morris Half-ton, and it has a 1622 engine which would put it in the A60 category. By the time 1970 arrived they must have just cobbled together what they could from their stock of old parts, called it any old thing, and attempted to get rid of a few a 1950's looking vans.
I think that there were only Farina A60's, in fact I'm not sure that, although there were pre-Farina A55's, the commercial variants (Austin AND Morris) carried that model designation & weren't simply "1/2-tons"
A truly weird (even by Citroen standards) camper at the French 100th bash: imagine a caravan on a DS19 chassis cab - if you will/can/dare.

Looking down the image list of an earlier search for "DS Campers" after it runs out of Citroen DS campers, I came across a 1972 Hanomag Henschel F35N Camper which caught my eye.
First appearance on the thread I think, definitely in the interesting category for me if slightly odd, and the base buses look good too...

Bargain of the week? All a matter of opinion, it was in nice condition. The VW camper in all its forms has achieved a certain "Status", and I would have one, but in my view usually/always overpriced, and an ill-founded impression of reliability.

and here is an early "bay" on the road, or in the car park anyway...
