Once Neil had pointed out the left pallet I went down the RX7 route but not for long because the bonnet just wasn't right so I did the visual search!!

Why are some convertibles called spiders?

Now this whatsthisthen requires a little bit of a quest.....play along if you can.
Its a little bit of effort to get the answer, but several routes once you track down the basic info.

The Teletubbies episode "The Colour Black" features a car being washed.....surprise surprise its a Black Car.

So what is the make and model of the car being washed.

Little hint....the episode in full is on Daily Motion and the carwashing takes place at around 14.45 of the 24.29 minute episode.

100 points for the curious pioneers, but.....

if no-one gets it or can be bothered to search out a teletubbies video on a French Video sharing platform I will put up a 5 points only picture later on.

That was quick, if you have sourced the video and the image I would say your guess is close but not the one on the card. I dont know myself-definitely, but others have identified it on line as another Make/Model but they could of course be wrong.

Well done James, Bobins was very adjacent but It is indeed a Mazda MX-3 according to IMCDB, and if we want it confirmed beyond reasonable doubt, then I do believe Mick has one of those "Teletubbies" cars

in his stable.

: Mazda MX-3 from Teletubbies episode 231

You'll have to zoom in to the yellow lined circle middle bottom to see anything, if you succeed what are you looking at?

If it is not a toad/frog

Its something under the water, so my guess would be a water vole, and if it is a privileged sight these days. That vegetation is just the type of thing they knaw off with a square edge when feeding.

I saw (and photographed) a water vole on the River Kennet late (September) last year.
