Is this not the car which encountered the ditch and trees in a big way on one of our video links?
I'm fairly sure the car for sale isn't Burghard Brink's Pirelli car John.
Comforting for anyone thinking of buying then.
Not that it would have been repaired in some back street chop shop in Keighley anyway......
No, I doubt.
Here's his website. I've just noticed two round outlets/vents/recesses on the underside of the boot (below and in line the rear lamps).
I wonder what the idea is with those?

Maybe some ports for the bass reflex from his sub box?? that or low pressure exhaust vents from his back brakes?
Umhh, yes, but big for boot drains! Guess they are extracting air from somewhere. Cabin? Oil cooler? Or just engine bay?
Lancia ran cars in Safari, Acropolis with a pre-filtering system in the boot of the car. Early setups ran the car with the boot-lid jacked up to let air in. Later cars had moulded-in ducts from the vents under the roof spoiler back into the boot. Flexible ducts then connected through the bulkhead from the pre-filter to either side of the air-box.
Possible that that is what these are for (to let air in), though i did see in one of the photos that the air-box is not an enclosed one so no way to connect a pre-filtering system. Easy to change over when needed though. Other than that, no idea really !
