38th time lucky: roadside treasure

[garethj]

I was driving home after work this evening and saw a blue, slightly shonky DS in the petrol station on the A1 by St Neots.  The bonnet was up, so hopefully it wasn’t you?

If it was somebody else, are you now officially an influencer? 😀

I was having a browse on Street View around that area when I noticed this interesting garage set-up:

Where the car is backed up to, is what looks to be a double garage, but with a single-car garage entrance on the side. Presumably because to the side of that, the house appears to carry on. So I assume it may be an L-shaped garage or the single garage entrance may just be an elaborate bin storage? The bricks look a little newer than on the garage itself.

Try the 'view different dates' option on the StreetSpy (maybe desktop/laptop only - not mobile) that may help.
Looks to me (by the way that the front door is blocked a bit by the 'new' up and over) that they've chucked in the new door to access a gym/suana/home office/storage area without having to shift the cars out of the way of the original up and over?

You stopped to help, I hope?

I only saw it as I passed and I was in the outside lane.  With the nose to tail traffic it would have meant at least half an hour to get back there.

I also expect that someone driving a 1970s car is fairly comfortable dealing with a breakdown.
