A Vehicle Inspection of sorts

Doris Doris? frankofil surfboard
I noticed an unusual van parked at the vehicle inspection site at Port 73 in Handen so I stopped for a few photos. Looks like it must belong to a dedicated surfer with a lot of humour, the pin-up girl was unfamiliar to me, but a flickr contact told me that it is Carol Doda. Not sure about the bullet holes! As I took the photos another guy (third photo), came up and started taking photos of his own. He turned out to be a real Francophile, owning no less than ten French cars. He gave me a tour and pointed out was what original and what was not, he didn't actually own this van or even know the owner ,but he had one himself, and according to him there are only five Peugeot J7 in Sweden.

I've certainly never seen a van like that. The pin up girl rates as not safe for work!

Bullet holes? Are you sure, Stefan?
And I thought those holes were a timid attempt at broderie anglaise...
Yikes!!

P.S. A surfboard or a windsurf board?
Carol Doda=beautiful girl

Fake bullet holes are very fashionable these days Maria.

They don't make 'em like that anymore. (And there's probably a reason.)

I have never seen a van like this on the roads here in Norway, and I do look out for unique cars.
Interesting posting, and you have eyes for details:) Happy Sunday!

Carol Doda! That is a name from the past. If I said I recognized her from the breasts, people would talk . . .
