A windy Welsh spot

I'm in Wales this week for a break. Stopped in the rather dull town of Borth. Had a quick walk up the beach and got totally windswept. Out the corner of my eye I saw the roof line of this.....
French, petrol injection I believe. No sunroof, no spoiler, but it is meant to have one as it has little grommets covering the holes! Quite tatty condition too.
They crop up when you least expect them too!

Looking a tad distressed, especially at the front. Obviously made it from France...
Make an offer for the roof!

I believe it's made its way from the Lot et Garonne.
I'm hoping the slightly raised bonnet isn't a strut top failing...

Can you find out more?
It's far enough south to be rust free. It would be interesting to get the age and VIN.

I'm afraid I can't Will, i was only able to snap it quickly. By the looks of it, I wouldn't be too sure if it is that rust free.
Almost looks like it's being used for storage. There is a mattress in side it!
I think it's quite an early one, it had a single spoke.

I wouldn't be so indiscreet as to wonder whether you could peep under that bonnet.
No, silly idea.

I'm not staying in Borth, it's an hour away from our holiday rental.
If I had noticed the bonnet I would have had a quick peak.
I was trying to be quick, so didn't spend any time with it.

Wales you say? Get Paul on the case!
Good spot, Russ.
As you say, they appear in the most unexpected places!
