Yesterday I was followed by a really odd looking car. This was between Reigate and Banstead in Surrey I can only descibe it as looking like a 1950/60s Mk 2. It was:

1. a bit smaller than a regular Mk 2, with chrome strips in strange places
3. the rear window looked to be more upright than a regular Mk 2
2. N registered
3. dark green maybe

I did get behind it for a very short while and I think it was badged Misosoka or something like that. It was definitely badged as a View T which I assume was the model reference.

Anyone own up to having this vehicle, and what is it?

I wondered what these were? As I saw one in Brent X car park a few weeks ago!!!

Looks bloody awful, a bit like a 'Noddy Car'.

There is one in Weybridge.

My partner has to look out on it from her office window.

Enough to put her off her work!

I'd have thought it was a good productivity aid. You'd take one look out of the window. Think ArgH! vomit I'm never looking out there again and then you'd get on with some work.
