He lives in a house surrounded by decaying cars, vans and trucks.

Like this Leyland FG:

Which would have looked like this in happier days:

And this Ford D series, showing what 36 years in a damp climate can do:

For comparison, which by coincidence is beside an FG:

And this Ka. Doesn’t look bad apart from the flat tyres, but the rust at the base of the windscreen is from the inside out and that’s not a good thing:

The thought of what might be inside the house isn’t a good one.

I must admit a soft spot for the FG - the footwell windows and ridiculous front, along with the suicide doors almost on the back of the cab are endearingly weird.

But the doors made sense! You could open them in the width of the cab so no matter how narrow the road, passageway or whatever, if the truck got in you could get in and out.

Inside the house - lots of cats or lots of mice.

Yeah the doors are actually a fantastic idea for narrow spaces.
