Just looked on line. Concours spec RHD BB512i's go for between £250k and £300k however I can imagine the resto cost being horrific, I wonder what that "barn find" would be worth?
With a bit of auction fever it would surely make strong money, especially if the mileage at the last mot was correct

Date tested
28 July 2007
Pass
Mileage
6,029 miles

Could be worth more than the house that it is parked next to !

You would certainly want to keep it insured. whistle

Has anyone knocked and tried to buy it ?

According to PH tradition, the owner will almost certainly state that they intend to "do it up one day".

Looks fibreglass to me. If it was a Datsun, there'd be nothing left of it!

Looking at the location of the joint on the wing, Carlton Carrera

Or maybe not.

Rear wing/arch hints at the Carrera though so maybe the front wing has been cut....

I was just going by the shape under the cover, particularly the roofline and the A pillar

Surprised the toast rack rear valence is still there, especially bearing in mind the other bits that have been taken off.

A few just down the road from me, all outside a church which is mid residential conversion.

This one I'm pretty sure is a Lotus Elan.

Looks more like a Europa.

Looks like an abandoned resto rather than being stripped for parts, in so far as all the parts are neatly laid out in the rain in front of the car....
