super find, i am astounded that being so close to the road its not been seen before, or at least by a collector. I have also been driving around the country looking over hedges for 35 years or so, which is why I drive a 4x4

Thats amazing. Are you going to enlighten us to the story behind it? It seems a very strange place to dump a Carrier.

Shaun what about the CVRT in the background, does that need a home now that you have the carrier?
