Doing an image search on google lens comes back with this AI reply
This is a green Citroën TUB, a light utility van produced between 1939 and 1941.

The TUB was quite small. More likely an H Van I'd have thought or even one of the small Citroen lorries.

Many years ago, I seem to recall another hideous Citroën homebrew motorhome based on a DS.

DVLA MOT history suggests it's a 1963 green Citroen. Not much help there, but the forward control layout would point to a H Van base.

I found another picture from 2015 where it looks a little tidier. Could it be from the CCC annual gathering of that year?

Seen on the side of a campervan last week:

Parents and grandparents of young children who love Bluey will get it ;)
Spoiler: show
In Bluey, the term "Grey Nomads" refers to a convoy of elderly retirees and grandparents traveling across Australia in large, slow-moving caravans. They are famously featured in Season 2, Episode 46, "Road Trip," where Bandit desperately tries to speed past them to avoid the dreaded fate of camping next to the toilet block.
Everybody loves Bluey :D

Whenever I see a reference to Bluey my mind immediately thinks of Lucky Grilse. Must be an age thing.
As I get older I think a lot about the hereafter - I go into a room and then wonder what I'm here after.

Inside every old person is a young person wondering what the hell happened.

I am ignorant entirely of that series, however as a five year old I did have a handsized teddy called Bluey and I have no idea why! (maybe cos he was blue! :-D )
