I didn't get to properly identify it (saw it from distance and when driving past) but there is a yellow X*** FBB Dart parked up in Saltburn by The Ship Inn.
It's been parked up in the same place for a while now.

The door has been replaced by a roller shutter door.

Guessing it is an ex-GNE vehicle

No idea.
The original doors and 'easy access' stickers are visible on the first photo.

Each of the windows were covered up like that. The only one that wasn't (apart from the windscreen), was the one that you though may be a canopy.
