Talking of desirable residences created from retired hearses, I like this:

I like its price less than I like the vehicle, but that must be a typo.. I'd have it at £750! Or would if I fell out with my lovely neighbours.

Sorry, it must have stuck in my mind after seeing your reference to it, yet I had forgotten.
Once I hit 53, my memory went west I'm afraid.
I don't know how I'd get anywhere near to GHT's house, I think that the court order is still active and the police would surely come...

Uh-oh! Rich, you bad man! Would you have me spend money on more automobile-related paraphernalia that I probably don't need, but one of these would potentially enable me (finally!) to destroy the sis-in-law beast's "Wicked Willy" mug and provide her with a most acceptable replacement from which to drink her Horlicks on her (decreasingly frequent
) vists to my place.
I would choose this one for her:
And this for me:
It changes from plain black to the WD40 livery when filled with hot liquid, so maybe she could have that one too, full of actual boiling WD40 ideally!

It tastes a lot like being kissed by a slobbery dog that's only just finished a long motorcycle ride, but believe me when I say that WD40 has more right to call itself a refreshing beverage than to call itself a penetrating fluid!
Please fellow forum folk, do not drink WD40, it's probably not a good idea and my earlier description of the taste is based on {accidental) experience. I would, however, give H some as a joke, because she once had me drinking something far less pleasant without realising what it was. Let us just say that she told me it was out of date Lucozade**..
But I actually found you another breakdown vehicle and it's a wee belter too, none of that rusty Transit nonsense here:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PHOTO-THAMES ... SwO9JZ6wpl
Only problem that I'm seeing there is that buying a photo of something is probably less logical than taking a photo of it for yourself.

It was in fact out of date DIET Lucozade, an altogether more sinister substance than the sugary original type.
