Thinking about it, everything would most likely be seized, rubbers perished etc.
Not if they've been stored in a dehumidified garage?
Plus look how many classic and vintage cars they have at Beaulieu. Some do get used now and again though.

These have all been on auto trader for yonks! Not too sure if they are proper ones though, if you look at the year, there all 1992, I reckon they were made after the main production of them all....

I wouldnt say no to the advantage, then I could have a matching pair! 
Although they wouldnt be matching, as one wouldnt be as nice as the other!

1992 could be the year they were registered, they may have been kept unregistered until that year. In which case they could recieve a 1992 registration.

She should stick it on ebay, would be a shame to get rid of it. Even if she only gets scrap value for it, at least its gone to a good home
