Very nice & the addition of the Tesco sign really finishes it off

Aye Alan, I do like the VW scene but as a painter I don't think I could have a van that purposely looks rusty, it's against all I've been trained to do. However I do like the commercial ones which are being kept original with sign writing on and totally original.
Do what you like.Like what you do.
