I think I can still find these cars here quite easily

What do you need Kev ? There's no interest AT ALL in super mirafioris here, so we could find something if you need

It's not really a car anymore is it. Why keep a car 35 years and not cover it up at least or do something to give it a chance of surviving? Wonder what's under the cover next to it?

Wheels and stainless window frames still look useable.
Do you think the mechanicals could be saved?
As you say, it didn't have much help in the form of protection from the elements. :x

didn't get a bid, not surprisingly really.

still not cheap now, unless there's enough parts you can shovel up?
