Scary price considering the major suspension parts and top half for the body/door frames are all that would be left once restored.

The romantic "as found" photos (and description) are lifted from Brightwells catalogue of their Sept 25th auction where the seller presumably bought the car. The car - or rather what remains of it - was present at the auction where it sold for about £800. I seem to recall that the car was supported by pallets, probably because the body had collapsed :shock:
Probably a source of parts - or ID - more than a restoration project.
