New definition of a 'shed'.

You see some real horrors here but this has got to be one of the worst. He was at the roadside checking under the bonnet. After a while he got back in and twisted a couple of wires together. " That's to spark 'em" he explained.

Any idea what it is? May be a Nissan?

Eek! I take it they don't have MOTs there?

Wow, that doesn't even look straight (cab to body)

Mazda B1600. Paint's a bit faded.

 

[Oldhippy]

Nice patina don't you think? Put a V8 in that and instant Rat pick up.

Yes, it has a passing resemblance to a banana

Being an old Mazda it's barely run in, he'll get decades out of that!

Theres an ancient camper van parked just down the road from us that looks like a shed on wheels, I've only seen it move once, its probably growing roots with the amount of time its stood there.

This one looks as if it's due for an MOT:

@Cycleops You should have asked him if he had a sob story in his life, it would be a prime candidate for Car SOS!

Stopped by Police in Nottinghamshire, three wheels on his Renault and he was still rolling along.

I did VSO in Nigeria for three years from 1986, I was teaching Introductory Technology (similar to what we call D.T. in the UK) in the south east of the country. Some taxis's there at that time were quite unbelievable.... bars welded across the cabin on the inside to hold the body out, holes in the floor, bald tyres (I mean slick) etc etc, all Peugeot 405's or 505's....incredibly durable cars! Still traveled many many miles in them though . Good times.

They do actually. It's called a "Road worthiness certificate". But as with most things here including the police and government departments you just slip them a few cedis, you've got your certificate.
