I think there's two of 'em!
It was in the Convoy of Resistance Feb 2013 from Whitstable to Canterbury opposing the closure of Whitstable Royal Mail Delivery office.
The most photographed VW in the town.
One in Argyle Rd and other in Regent St?
High tide washed it up...
Because it's the only one that could fit down some of the streets?

It’s fantastic to see local businesses supporting a great institution during difficult times.
RNLI Whitstable Lifeboat StationMany of our popular annual fundraising events have not been able to go ahead this year due to the current circumstances. This has had a huge impact on donations and raising the vital funds that we depend on as a non-government funded service.
We would like to say a huge thank you to V.C Jones of whitstable and their customers for supporting us during this tricky time, as we know that this is an uncertain time for everyone.
If you’re placing an order with them and wish to donate, here’s how you can help:
➡️ If you’re having food delivered – pop some change or a cheque in an envelope, mark it ‘RNLI’ and their delivery drivers will collect it and add it to their fundraising pot.
➡️ If you’re collecting food – let the person who’s taking your order know that you’d like to donate, then you can do a contactless donation tap at the door. They will also take spare change and pop it in their fundraising lifeboat pot.
For more information or contact details, check out their Facebook here V.C Jones of Whitstable
Once again, we are overwhelmed by the generosity both of the people who live here and the people who visit. It’s this support that enables us to continue to save lives at sea, we thank you all very much.
1-10-2020. Hi from me John.JRP. Please try my simple life saving idea, as my simple drawing SHOWS. Thank YOU for doing what YOU DO IN YOUR OWN WAY.

Honestly I find this completely baffling. The oyster hunt is on a Friday when the children are at school. Your link is to a description of the Oyster Fest of years ago when there were still fireworks. What is the purpose of this please?
This is intriguing but why does the link take me to a description of the Oyster Fes as it was before being downgraded to a weekend food fair in Tankerton?
Fabulous!
