Shouldn't be hard. In fact it should be easy, especially for me, seeing as it's sitting on my drive!

They've updated Streetview you see, and at the time the pic was taken Mrs F kept being given hire cars for her job. We remember having Peugot 207s (or were they 208s?), Honda Civics, and a Merc B class, but I'm pretty sure it's none of those.

Someone please put us out of our misery :)

EDIT: not the sporty number on the right

Looked at pictures of that and it doesn't have that V-shaped rear window, unless that's changed recently?

Good point, although looking at some 2011 Corsa images maybe some do have that V window shape.

e.g.:-

looks like it might have a V rear window

Corsa was my first thought, so if you can find a pic of one with that window I wouldn't feel quite so bad :)

Focus did say "not the one on the right".

Can't tell whether you're pulling my leg...

Yes, the smart looking motor on the right is a highly prized mk1 2.0 Focus Estate Ghia, but I definitely would have remembered if we'd had a new one to play with.

2006/2007 vintage Corsa, hired from Enterprise (whose fleet is mostly Vauxhaul) judging from green badge on boot.

I would say that I must need glasses, but I'm wearing the ruddy things and still can't make that out! Dogs must have better eyesight I guess, even ones made of plasticene.

Play the VR movie and rotate it around to the same angle as OP.

This plasticine hound wears glasses too :-) The Enterprise badge is just by the bottom corner of the right-hand light cluster.

The Corsa was an easy spot because my lab-mate from postgrad days bought the same five-door model (only in black) brand new just months before he was offered a job in Texas and handed it over to his sister...

I thought the green stickers were attached on the assembly line. It's very rare to see a Vauxhall without one.

I'd have said it was an Enterprise rental car - not that you can make out the sticker properly. But that's is the size, colour and position they stick them on cars.
