Does any one know a) what I’m talking about and b) what the story is behind it?

I remember it, it lived on the main road just as you head out of the village on the way up Woodhead.

I wasn't aware of it having any particular story behind it?

I've seen it for many a year, now accompanied by a Renault Wind.

I'd be tempted to see if it's for sale, but last time I went past (roughly October) it was so rotten I'd say it's unsaveable. Sad.

Sounds like the title of an episode of Last of the Summer Wine to me!

So it's still there now?

I escaped Tinsle about 7 years ago, I assumed it was now long gone.

I'm guessing it's not a desirable model, probably just a UK2000.

Given how they rust underneath, how is anything that rusty on the top still in one piece?
