Good man for getting it out i say. I dont know why all these people are getting all worked up about it coming out as i would never have been seen again i am 50/50 thoe weather or no you should restore it.

Its not so much a restoration, more building it for the first time. Its really exciting cant wait to see it when its complete

I'm behind it 100% - Restore it

what is the purpose of a wreck ? - it would have been dragged out for scrap & crushed or dumped for ever

Cars are meant to be driven - there is no purpose in decay - esp when not seen

Raynard Bronze or whatever it's called.

Why is it so special, was it just not ordered that much or was it only made for a small period of time?

What do you mean when you say it "fell of the production line?"

I took it to be pretty Ronseal

What it says on the tin like literally fell off

Maybe I'm wrong though

Just cant see how it would of fallen off and stayed there, without them removing it when it fell off?

Elaborate but maybe it fell of when the shell was being rased in the air and landed on like a hand rail? It would explain the V shaped dent.

[Chance]

I'm guessing they moved it out the way
Would have thought it would have just been scrapped by them

That story isnt definate is it though??

Anyone else like to see it semi restored? All its dents and bumps left.

Obviously not the roof being caved in!

The car was finished and was being driven around the site as a pool car for 11 miles it then i belive had a storage container fall on it hence the big v shaped dent..so it was once a complete car that they hid down the tunnel

With some of the stories you hear about Longbridge, this could be a believeable transcript of a converstaion...
