My friend Russ is manager at this body shop near Hull. I went and looked at the car a few weeks ago when they got it. It is very original and unmolested but has significant structural corrosion.. The seats are in remarkably good condition for a car of this series. It's going to be interesting to see how they progress they seem to have a really good skilled team who are up to the challenge.

They probably need to reach out to Carl - he's got a lot of experience. And it's going to be needed when he starts working on the front of the car....

The biggest challenges structurally are, I think, the rear panel and valance area plus the engine bay. I think all will be revealed as they progress.
