Photographer should have waited until the guy had swept up the chunks of bodywork rust off the floor

We had one of those on the farm - completely indestructible, no matter what you threw it at or threw at it. Tinworm killed it off in the end though after 240k miles

Haven't you got to get it through an MOT before you can take the plate off though.

Ah still applies then... I only know that because my best mate wanted the plate off his old mans Bentley that would have been worth a real small fortune, but the repair bill on the Bentley to get it through an MOT would have been upwards of £10k... it'd been sat in a garage for around 25yrs and it was an MOT failure that made him park it up.

Unless you didn’t it purely for ****s and giggles... Drop a lightly breathed on EJ in the front and tidy up the suspension, could be a right good laugh.

They do have a bit of a following but I think anyone would struggle to give much more than £3/3.5K for a nice clean example... labour of love job really and for what it'd cost... you'd really need to be planning on keeping it.
