did the car not get dismantled? there's a bodyshell hanging on a wall in the factory or something.

Any reason as to why it would get dismantled?. That would surely of been an iconic car to keep whole and would be so sought after & be worth a fortune in years to come if it was the only one built that is.

I agree its a shame but lots of company's do things like that to prototypes or development cars. happy to be proved wrong though of course.

Best bet is to ask Dave at Jetstream.

The Yellow M10 is a mates and the factory used it without him knowing (they knew he would be ok with it). First he knew of it was when this episode aired. Lol

I was gonna make some lame joke about the government owning all the motorways...
but, in a strange parallel wiki says;

'M15 motorway (Great Britain), an upgrade of the A406 North Circular Road that was planned in the 1960s-70s but never built'
