The owner took the car in payment of a debt and when I last spoke to him he intended to put it on ebay and thought it would fetch at least £500 .
It looks as though the car has been on the road (number plate screw holes) there is a front and rear subframe both very very rusty ,a pedal box ,no bumpers all the trim is missing and there is about 9 inches of leaf mould inside the car .I could not see any chassis plate or any numberto identify the car, there is cracking to the gelcoat in several areas .What I would class as in need of a long time in a HDU and need an enormous outlay on parts .

If the owner still has the license plates, s/n plate under the bonnet and paperwork, this car could be useful for an still unregistered Bronze (these come occasionally for sale on Ebay). It's the only way to get past the SVA with an old-new Midas these days. But if the identity of this car can not be traced I think it's worth nothing. Perhaps he could have a few good pics of it made (or even a painting) buy a famous photographer and sell these. I suppose he would fetch more. I mean, if someone pays 4000usd for a boring picture of the Rhein:

a picture of this sleeping beauty would be worth tens of thousands!
