Spotted a pristine Mk1 Avensis in a Kent seaside town.

Over the weekend I took a friend to birthday function down in Folkestone. Near the destination I passed a immaculate looking silver Mk1 one late version Avensis hatchback, with alloy wheels and tailgate spoiler.
I thought to myself, what a nice looking car, but then snapped out of of it. I am in a nice Avensis myself, and it's couple of generations newer.  
I could post stills from my Dashcam or screen shot from Google street view - car parked in same position, but I don't want to upset any privacy, unless the owner happens to be a member and gives permission. That owner must love that car.

There are some gems that appear in the local Sainsbury's car park, 1 owner Datsun cherry (spoke to the owner), mk2 golf, mk2 Jetta (garaged all its life with 31K original miles) early 80's metro, mk4 Orion all owed by the older generation

When I see one of these old low miles cars it always reminds me of the old guy with the 1966 Chevy in Garrison Keillor's 'Lake Wobegon Days'...

"He is coming to see Dr. DeHaven about stomach pains that he thinks could be cancer, which he believes he has a tendency toward. Still, though he may be dying, he takes a minute to get a clean rag out of the trunk, soak it with gasoline, lift the hood, and wipe off the engine. He says she runs cooler when she's clean, and it's better if you don't let the dirt get baked on. Nineteen years old, she has only 42,000 miles on her, as he will tell you if you admire how new she looks. "Got her in '66. Just 42,000 miles on her." It may be odd that a man should be so proud of having not gone far, but not so odd in this town."

We used to drive a silver 1.8 sr avensis back in the day...pristine from the underside to the roof top...never seen another like it...until the other day at our Asda carpark...brought back beautiful memoirs!

I have the photos of the car, from Google street view and my Dashcam. Car parked in the same spot. 
Since the car is on Street View, I thought it might be okay to share. 

The car has VVTI badges and SR style grill and is a facelift.

This looks exactly as I explained...in my last response...she was a beauty!
