It was pure speculation on my part :wink:

It would have been fun to get that car "driveable" but it isn't really going to live again is it. The body structure is way beyond repair and the car will realistically simply be a useful source of spare parts.

You say that but I've read in the likes of Practical Classics over the years of similar 'wrecks' being brought back from the dead.
I think it depends on whether, having put this video 'out there', the right person sees it and decides to acquire and ressurect it.
All the panels needed for this mammoth task are available, both new and secondhand, after all.
Probably not I agree but you never can tell.....

A bit of good old fashioned British moral fibre required sir!
Along with a good dollop of good old fashioned British eccentricity....... :D
