Hi Rick

It is right, think it looks odd because there is some body distortion probably as a result of severe rust !.

You can see traces of the green that the PO telephone vans were painted in, I bet it doesn't have the original rubber wings though !

Didn't the PO ones have carriage-style door handles, and a toolbox under the bonnet with a lid? I suppose they've could have changed/been replaced once sold off to civvy street.

Yep, they did have the carrage handles, the toolbox was removable, they also had a fire extinguisher on the off side wing.

If I had some where to store another car I'd be tempted.

By the time it was towed home, I think you could store the remains in a briefcase Smile
