It's a left hand drive, and the UK plate is pre-1963, FWIW.

All I can say is it is doing an excellent job of hiding most of a terribly ugly building....

H Vans are cooler than a cool thing in a cool place. I love 'em

H vans remind me of the JU52 trimotor - another cool-looking creation of which I am a fan.

Saw an unexpected few today, firstly a not too common C4 Coupe that looked nice in Silver:

...and then totally unexpected was whilst wandering around Fakenham, the Fakenham Car Club had a little stand in the middle with a 2cv and DS!

Can't get away from Citroens anywhere I go...!

Is it a goer Tim or resting?

On the spotting side, considering I've done 700 miles in three days (Home to Aberystwyth and back followed almost immediately by Home to Taunton and back) the Xantia spotting was poor.

One unknown blue Xantia near Shrewsbury, one blue Xantia Estate in Taunton and one red one I forget where...

Where have they all gone?
