Walking along L'Aumône towards Saumarez Park in Guernsey last week I spotted this odd structure covered with foliage at the side of the road.
On walking round the side of it this was revealed......
......and this was the view from the front......
It's a Karrier Bantam which, judged by the growth of the foliage around it, has been there for some considerable time. It would have looked something like this originally:

This is a 1974 Karrier Bantam Flat Bed truck, photographed at the Trans Lancs Historic Vehicle Rally at Heaton Park, Manchester in September 1996. The programme notes say about it:
Entered by T Marron, Littleborough, Lancs
Operated from new by F & T Chadwick of Greystones, Hawkshead, Cumbria, Coal Merchants. Sold in 1992 to Mr Pringle of Barnard Castle for preservation, but no work was carried out. Bought by present owner in Nov 1994 and cab & chassis have been renovated including new flat boarding.
