St Monans Ex-Army Land Rover Mobile Bar

History

Geograph contributor's photograph from the St Monans Sea Queen gala on 11 August 2018 shows a matt-black ex-military Defender 110 hard top at work as a pop-up bar: the whole left side of the hard top hinges up on gas struts as an awning, revealing a turquoise-lined bar with a wooden counter, a row of beer taps and chalkboard price lists, with a round bar table hung by the tail; the vehicle keeps its bonnet spare and snorkel and wears a wreath logo on the doors. The operator, a Fife events bar, is not named.

The registry's model is a black Defender 110 hard top with the raised side panel, teal bar with taps and chalkboards, bottles on the counter that drop as cargo in the game, tail table, bonnet spare, snorkel and door logo.
