That's nice, but £300-400K? Ridiculous. It's a 45-year-old car, for god's sake, blah rant rave... I'll give 'em £20K and they should think themselves lucky to get that, bloody chancers, etc. etc. :)

Mmmm. Picture of the B post & side window shows a pull cable inside the car, I assume it's an emergency release for the rear clip? Anyone seen it before? Unique to this car?
Guy

ps there's a second one on the passenger side but nothing showing on the clamps in the engine bay - maybe the release levers aren't in use?

Connected to battery isolator to use as external engine kill pull cable ? Car has a few "competition" mods by the looks of it

Would they be some sort of tasty Italian chocolates?

Ejector seat Guy.

That fire extinguisher is going to go straight through the windscreen in a shunt.
