Yes, a Japanese car trying to look like an Italian one, standing in front of an English cottage wit a French licence plate.

One more point for you.

Clever, these Japanese artists.  I doubt very much whether that car ever left Japan..
I can't identify where that Post Office is that it's supposedly parked outside!

You're right!
It wasn't the Post Office in those days..
What does it say above the door?  It looks like Metnor or Hetnor but I couldn't find anything resembling that; it could perhaps sound a bit Somerset or Devon-ish.

Seems to be Hetnor, but I couldn't find a meaning either.

Thanks for the kind words.

Actually, it was quite fun trying to solve a puzzle that didn't involve automobiles or trucks.

I didn't save it, but you can Google the name Ketnor and the location and you can get a family tree sort of history.  They were in that area for a long,long time.  The last dated photo I saw was in the late 1990's so I imagine the store and the family are still there.
