Thanks for your speedy response. I have never even heard of one of those before!

Meriva is the model. It's a Vauxhall.

Yep, it's a Vauxhall Meriva A. Looks to have the dark rear lamps, which would mean it's a facelift model, post-2006.

You’re very fortunate, having had a diesel one on hire once while on hols it was the most hateful POS I’ve ever driven.

I hired a 'Golf' class car on a one way hire from Dortmund to Sindelfingen (Merc factory) to pick up a new E-Class in 2004, they gave me a Meriva 1.4 petrol. It was awful.

Thanks everyone for your input. This is a long shot, but do you think the images of the car in the dark are of the same model:




Thanks again for your help.

Crappy shot, but I don't think so. Proportions are wrong. I'd be tempted to guess at VW Polo for that, but that's a wild stab in the dark.

I'll take your word for it that that's a car...

The relative light heights are definitely wrong for the Meriva, though.

The images are from a web cam and from a CCTV. I am trying to figure out who is vandalising my vehicle. Thanks for the input.
