No. 2 in an occasional series of Volvo 340s between a foosty caravan and a derelict house in the Scottish Highlands

This is No. 1 in the series, foosty caravan not in shot but it's there.

What is this MYSTERY CAR I spotted today? And if you can somehow recognise the make and model, what specific generation is it?

That Rover P5 + caravan is wonderful, I wouldn't mind being held up by that.  In fact, somewhere on the A303 a couple of years ago I was briefly held up in a line of traffic following a similar vintage of caravan.  When we got to the overtaking lane and I passed it, it was being towed by a stunningly immaculate Triumph 2500 estate.  I'd like to think that every motorist who passed it had a smile rather than a frown as a result.

 

I seem to recall that there's a sad story behind that abandoned green 340, something to do with the house burning down and the occupants having no insurance?  Apparently they just upped and left, leaving the car where it was.  I might be wrong but anyway from what I've read it's been there a long, long time now.

It turns out there's more stuff behind the caravan.

I'll have to go back for a closer look. I wonder if anybody lives in the caravans.

I've just seen this, paint was a bit thin in places it was translucent but it looked a nice enough motor

I am sure this has been spotted on here before on a driveway in Rochester

Now engine and box less and outside a garage unit in Strood.

Can't help thinking that the severe grot in the roof doesn't bode well for its long term future.

No pic but today's Sainsburys spot was a K-reg ex-BT Fiesta van. Must be a rare thing these days and I was lucky to see it at all being a grey van on a foggy day. Veering off topic, but what utter cuntfuttock decided painting the BT vans grey was a good idea?

at crawfordburn 50 feet in front of me couldnt get the camera out quick enuff :D

Tastefully* modified, complete with vinyl effect roof and spoiler.

 

Apologies for kwality iPhone in the dark photography, who needs Instagram when you have a basset hound who's scared of the dark!

It must be shonky commercial week round here. Following on from yesterday's Fester, today's sightings comprised a pre-smiley Transit beavertail still working, a Maestro van, and best of all, the lesser-spotted Vauxhall Arena! Sadly no photos though as they were all passing the window.

Someone must have disturbed the nest, I saw an Arena campervan the other day piloted by a pair of giffers.  It had Arena Touring or something similar written down the side in big vinyl letters which made me chuckle.

I had a chat with the owner of this fine 216S - Only a young 'un but also owns a proper 998 mini and a Herald. I may have suggested he checks this place out

That Volvo 1800 "estate" was on ebay not too long ago, it certainly has an interesting appearance at the rear

Spotted loads of these commercial 4x4s when over the border recently, think it is a tax thing in Ireland
