A very well travelled pagoda.

I picked up my car the other day from a pagoda specialist garage. This car was in for some work. 
The places he had visited in the pagoda are listed along the sills.

Impressive.

Impressive indeed. I bet they have more than a few stories to tell!

I think I saw your car when mine was in for a bit of work at the same garage, unless there are two rally Pagodas in the UK, Must say it looked quite cool

I found these photos of that car from a rally in 2019.

I emailed back and forth with him a while ago -- lots of neat adventures, enjoyed the travelogue of the P2P. The car wasn't even really modified much beyond what the race requires (fuel cell etc).
