It is an Austin Gypsy, SWB I think; from the colour and location presumably a fire or mines rescue wagon.

Now that is a sad sight.
Should be quite salvageable though.

Standard on the Turbo 2, it may have been the same spoiler on the original Turbo, my memory isn't what it used to be. The diesel turbo had a rubber lip spoiler. The spoiler had two perspex screens with drain holes to let out the rain water. Seen better in this picture.

Maybe there is a business option here searching out rotting classics offering owners cash for ten doing then up selling oN Highly unusual for there ever to be much profit to be had from such an enterprise. To restore something kto class 1 condition willl usually cost far more than it is worth.
