I think the car is a 2nd generation Lotus Esprit.
Hope it will be given a new lease of life.

MY THANKS TO ALL WHO VISIT AND COMMENT IT IS APPRECIATED
A trial project has begun to determine how long a full restoration project will take to repair Gloucester Cathedral's medieval fan vaulted cloisters. The whole project could take years, or even decades.

From Wikipedia:
Greystone, also called the Camp House, is a prominent historic home in Knoxville, Tennessee, that houses the studios and offices of WATE-TV. It is an imposing structure, and is on the National Register of Historic Places. The mansion is located at 1306 Broadway (US441).
Major Eldad Cicero Camp began constructing his home in 1885. Architect Alfred B. Mullet designed the mansion in the Richardson Romanesque style. Mullett had previously designed the Customs House building in downtown Knoxville. The home is two and a half stories, with a three-story tower in the front. The exterior of the home is sheathed in stone from a quarry in Lake City, Tennessee. The home contains elaborate hand-carved mantels from France. Each room is paneled in a different type of wood. The heads of windows include stained glass panels, and 22 different types of marble are used in the house. The site also includes a carriage house.
Major Camp was born in Ohio, served in the Union army during the Civil War, made Knoxville his home and was appointed a U.S. District Attorney by President Ulysses S. Grant.
The Camp family used the home until 1935. When Camp's heirs were no longer able to maintain the house, they sold some of the furnishings and subdivided the mansion into apartments. The condition of the building declined during its rental use, until WATE-TV purchased the building in 1965 at a cost of $75,000. Over the next two years, the mansion was restored and renovated for use by the television station. The restoration and renovation process cost $1.5 million. The first floor of the building was preserved and restored largely in its original form. A new 13,000-square-foot addition on the back of the building housed the station's studios. In April 1973, Greystone was added to the National Register of Historic Places.
The old wooded caboose will be completely gutted to the frame and rebuilt - a major undertaking of passion, dedication and hard work!
Could be a great home or cottage with a lot of work.
Silver Islet is an old town and turned into cottage country.

P.s. I did not actually rip any wallpaper that wasn't already ripped in this abandoned place. The 'wood' you see is wood-looking wallpaper. Underneath could only be better looking stuff...
Large flocks of ducks and wading birds flock to the shallow waters of the Phase I restoration area floodplain.
Looking the part now. All welding finished, cab well on with rubbing back for painting, ancillaries now being fitted back on the chassis. We normally attend a nice show not far from us at the start of August...it may now be a possibility with the Commer???

Dennis, Graeme and I attended the Steamrail Victoria open day at the Newport Railway Workshops today. This was the first time for all of us, and on a day of firsts I drove Dennis and Graeme up in my Tesla, which was their first experience of an electric car.
This weekend, we are experiencing an early autumn heatwave with temperatures up to 37 degrees in Melbourne. We arrived early, while it was in the high 20s and made our way around a very entertaining, efficiently organised and interesting exhibition of static and operational locomotives and rolling stock. A number of carriages were connected into trains and parked with the air conditioning on, to offer people respite.
The Newport campus is adjacent to, but separate from the railway museum the three of us visited last year together (some photos are no Flickr). This operation is more in pursuit of maintaining or restoring locos to running order.
Whilst there is no doubt that locomotives are the stars of the show, I find the carriages, with the evidence of high quality work from various artisans, to be equally engaging. It is quite fun to envisage who rode in them and what their stories may have been, but also to imagine travelling in such luxury and comfort too.
