That's the beer, not the car. "'Un" is a very common contraction for 'One'
in British English, at least. It's also very common to use 'one' (often
shortened to 'un) as a generic suffix when talking about things, places or
people e.g. "The Big One" for the Pepsi Max ride at Blackpool or the
expected large earthquake in California, or "little'un" or "little'uns" for
a small child or group of children. My grandparents had a sea-side chalet
named "Ersanisun", i.e. "'Ers an' 'is 'un" i.e. "Hers and his one".
