Get TIME TEAM onto it, that little man Robinson & his tedious friends could make a hole programme about it, once the Geo Fizz has been done of course!

Unlikely. If it were a Lancia it would have been gone after 20 minutes, not merely a bit rusty after 20 years. hehe

That's from a Bugatti Royale. No doubt about it.

God no. Utter destructive s. They asked my old boss if they could dig in a tiny corner of his garden, because they were filming in the field next door. He said yes, as long as you remove and replace the fence afterwards and don't make a mess, nothing bigger than a mini digger etc. Came home from work, his entire garden was a 2 foot deep hole, JCBs everywhere etc. They put the fence up when they finished after a couple of days but his garden and the field were totalled, and by all accounts Tony R is an utter, miserable, snobfaced bell.
