To be fair though I have seen several miniature vw campervans etc in the flesh and if there was one or two of these I would have believed it. Still pretty cool pics :)
Wow that really is a stunning 15 window.
Had to double check I was on the right forum as I've not been on the splitty OC for a while!
Nice to see special care taken when recovering it, when my old bay window bus was recovered (over 10 years ago) I told the driver it was low, he winched it...
