Well it all started off fairly normally:
Abarth 500, stage 2 valet prior to selling it:
And later on in the day his Bentley and R Class lurking behind it:
But in between that, I was asked to tackle their horsebox as they've just bought a new one so want shot of this one 
When I looked at it last week I walked from where I was to it so couldn't compare the size of it to my van, it's not that long, but it's bloody tall My ladder I took wasn't much help in the end - luckily they weren't too bothered about the roof 
And one to put it into perspective as to how big it is:
Good to do something a bit different, but won't be making a habit of it

Looks tidy but I would be wanting more length! I bet that has a smaller turning circle than most hatchbacks.

Yeh I couldn't believe how short it was!
Mark - the curtained bit is a small kitchen area - got to do that bit next week. The bit where the horses go starts just after the curtained window backwards. Only holds 2 horses I think.

Danke 
The horsebox is owned by the same person who owns the other cars in this thread and numerous others as well - I'm there every week doing various vehicles for him so he's a very good client. I don't mind the odd random job tbh, keeps me on my toes lol.
The 500 is nice - first one I've done, my client said it's great fun to drive, but too noisy and uncomfortable on long journeys which he originally bought it for No idea how much they are worth tbh? This one is mint with 4.5k on the clock.
