    I don't usually wander over here and don't know if this has been posted before but think it suits the thread.

    That's all very nice BUT I don't know how you keep your house so tidy  😮
    My house is all boxes within boxes and will probably be featured on TV in the series on hoarders named HOUSE CLEARANCES FOR TWATS

    Not a car, but, the 1983 Steinwinter Supercargo:






    I came across this via a YouTube suggestion, link:
    I never knew this existed 😳 but glad I came across it. Good to see it still exists and to be fair, I think it belongs in a museum.
    From what I can gather through a 2-minute "research" was in around the late 1970s, this was the brainchild of one Manfred Steinwinter. The cab was based on a low racer-type vehicle that could accommodate 3 adults and be driven around the city for example without the trailer. But due to some regulations around the early 80s the idea was shelved.
    Also, if you are observant enough, you might notice what looks like a Ferrari logo on the front of the truck. Ferrari in fact had nothing to do with the truck, but the obscure car company of Steinwinter did, more about it here:

    This weird little thing - which I saw in Iasi, northern Romania, at the start of this month, was totally new to me: I thought it was a recent Lada but turns out it's actually a Chery Jaggi - not a 70s stripper but a dinky bug-eyed little Chinese supermini.

    Got myself a mk2 Escort, but decided to go for the cheaper Maxichamps version instead of the usual Vanguard’s.



    Looks good to my eye. If I was to be critical I’d say the grill and headlights are slightly too far forward giving the the front a flush appearance but overall a good effort I think. 
    It’s nice to find one that’s not an RS or Mexico or yet another rally car.

    It is certainly done well even if it's not to everyone's taste.
    The same man is also responsible for this double ended 75.

    And undoubtedly the best, a two door coupe so he is obviously very talented.

    A few from me.
    Recent spots in Belgium:

    Hyundai i20. Looks to have been there for a long time.

    This 207 in a local shops carpark that I use to park in too. 207 has been here for a good year or so, it was here in August last year.
    UK:

    This Polo is by mine, owned by an older gentleman. Hasn't moved now for a good half a year but is still taxed and MoT'd (or least it was last time I checked)

    Focus in Halesowen. Been here for ages, not moved since about 2010/11.

    75 V6, although it doesn't look abandoned, it hasn't moved for a while.

    106, Erdington near a shiter. 

    Toyota Avensis. Outside a shop in Selly Oak, Birmingham.

    Just for the fan club, I cleaned it (even though it wasn't really dirty). 
    I might even put some fuel in it later.

    Maybe he removed the hot dog to improve the handling? I can't imagine it being very stable or aerodynamic with the massive high roof and then a giant sausage on top of that.

    Provenance is surely everything with that, you could knock something up and claim it was a prototype and stick it in an auction.
