My guess is someone is just trying to make a profit, fair play. I followed Nigel for many miles on the 2016 North Yorks run and the car flew... literally! My integrale struggled to keep up and the handling looked spot on. (understatement) I think dear old Nigel just had a slight mishap and tore a corner off, not the first to achieve this I guess!
Hope it makes someone else smile in its new life
