Yep has been for years in a garage just down the road from where I work . A bloke I work with has been triying to buy it for years he's a tad gutted ha ha been winding him up all week ha ha , the tv company collected the car and the show restored it allowing the owner the chance to drive it at the end where it was then sold at auction and the owner given what was left after the restoration costs and tv costs have been deducted which works out approx about what he was willing to pay !! It's a shame really as in one sense I missing car is back fully restore and out there again but there only original once and for me takes away a lot of what the car was and is it's now to me just another restore car now where near how it was and what made it so special but saying this this is just what I've been told looking forward to see the programme

Not much of a deal for the owner. The TV show get a program out of it, but the guy has to pay for the restoration and TV costs.

Oh if it was for racing I take it back. Shame because I missed the show |

I thought it was great, if people want to sell cars to the tv, let them. Perhaps the owner just felt it would def get finished that way.
The only thing which got me was how quickly they explained away the cloudy identity!
I didn't see it at the NEC either unfortunately.

It was a pleasant enough way to fill an hour.
I did think some of the figures being banded about were a bit daft though.
£5k for a cage? Custom Cages do them in T45 for £2.5 plus VAT...
Still, pretty car, and decent entertainment.
