No idea what make / model it is, but it has been parked outside a garage for about a week.

Never heard of that, but after google imageing it, I would say that you are spot-on correct.
The vents / slats on the leading edge of the rear wheel arches look identical to those of the images for a Renault Dauphine

Saw this earlier in the month. Ford Taurus I believe.

Was out and about today, saw a brown Corvette C3 coming towards Poole from Dorchester. Got a model in near enough the same colour, nice to see the real thing.

I wonder how long it took for the breakdown recovery vehicle to arrive?

I am sure that 120Y is actually an A-F2 (A-F II).
My friend / supervisor at my first job had one of these.
Here is the rustiest car I have ever seen without being burnt out.
Seen during a visit to Urmston, Manchester.

Amazed to see this turn up on the car park behind my house.
Normally it is boy racers in Clio's or Corsa's.
Despite it's age, it was totally spotless with no visible bubbling or corrosion - sweet.

Just got back from Reykjavik. Despite keeping a keen eye out no Cav/Vectra A were seen as only a handful of Opels seemed to be about (most of these were Mk3 Astra estates) as everyone favours VAG products or large off roaders - Landys, Pathfinders, Rams, Landcruisers, etc. Did spot a few oddities, one of which was this Tesla S 'Signature'.
