In 2014 I was at Bedford River Festival, accidentally in a rather unfit state due to gin, mead, beer and probably rum etc. I was fairly staggering along the river bank where all the food stalls were and accidentally walked right through the middle of some sort of performance going on right in front of this vehicle. My memories of this entire walk resemble some of the scenes from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, so I can't honestly tell you what the hell was going on. I managed to extricate myself from the pretty hilarious situation and staggered to a pub, buying a beer to justify me sitting on a chair to regain my equilibrium.

Maybe not but being a Ka it'll be burning oil and rusting into dust.

Looks like Ford's reputation is the same as in the 70s!

The early Mk1 Ka never got galvanised to save cost; this is the result. Commonly you see them rot our around the fuel filler neck as loads of mud and dirt gets chucked up there and just sits.
