Answer in the spoiler
Spoiler/Spoiler


Bodiam Castle, East Sussex the normal give-away view is this of course, but the approach is up hill


Wherethisthen Degree of difficulty.....falling off a log

The silence is deafening. Spoiler un-spoilerised, go and have a drone flight around one of England's most iconic castles. Minimum effort required, just sit in the armchair and click.

Not so much a whatsthisthen as it explains, but a one-off.
The owner was offered £7,000,000 for it in the sixties and declined.

Petrol cap suggests Triumph, same as the Spitfire but in a different place.

[mickthemaverick]

It may well have a cap from a different manufacturer!!

I have seen it and noticed it on my travels Mick. Recognise the "parking spot" for the static photos from one of the Auction Houses, one I have actually attended a few years ago now. Hats off to anyone who drags that up from their own existing knowledge clues may be required.

I'll chip in some clues during the evening, the first is simply to confirm that it is coming up for auction!!

It comes from a company founded in 1981 in Lincolnshire!

Final clue for tonight, part of the name may be found in a record player!!

I spotted Mick's Whatsthisthen? on the Anglia Car Auctions Catalogue for their sale on June 10th and 11th.

£4,000 to £6000. Never heard of that particular breed of car before, but eye-catching in yellow and a "sports car!"

No commentary here just a bit brum brum when they take it out for a test drive.

OK, no clues, I don't know off the top of my head what it is, tell me what it is please...

Nice hubcaps/trims seem far and away the best surviving bit. Plenty more rusty examples in this gallery here should you wish to play wonder what that rusty wreck is https://sometimes-interesting.com/willo ... ron-oxide/
