Well it's not on SORN, so could have sat for a seriously long time not to need it.

Ouch ...

The panel around the rear window looks bad too ... That'd be a brave restoration project.

I've kept my eye on this car since my original post in Dec 2009. Driving past the house today I noticed it has gone. I'm guessing its been scrapped but it would be good to think someone took it on as a restoration project. Still, we can't save them all.. :(
