The closest I got after 20 mins of researching was an "FEI X3 Lavinia" It looks remotely similar, shape wise.

Reg plate searches are showing nothing at all.
was going to ask can u search online for the reg? when i do the only info i get is northampton 1977-78

my googling of "furia" have come up blank

teacherSomething as unusual as this requires a PH intervention, if only to find out what the fk it is and get it under cover to stop it deteriorating further.
we need to assemble a crack team to go up there!

Don't these aerial map photos show their images with the North at the top in the orthodox map manner? This one has the shadows cast towards the bottom. Now I live but a mile away from where this car is supposed to be and, like most of you on here, I have never seen the sun cast a shadow on the south side of our house! So has the image been rotated for some reason? Also the two multimap (Bing) aerial maps for Rushden were taken early one morning in the summer (with strong shadows cast to the West) and just before midday in the early Autumn (strong shadows cast to the North). The Google aerial map photo was taken early one summer Bank Holiday evening (strong shadows to the East). None of these tally with the above image showing a short shadow to the South.
ha ha you lot are too cynical - it is one of the 4 rotation views on bing - it is all genuine believe me! hopefully might have some news today
