Looks a tad over ripe...

Looking closely at the first pic, I wonder if it would even hold together when moved. I think that it would make a great front garden ornament though but Mrs 222S and our neighbours probably wouldn't agree...

Out of interest, is it anyone on here who is bidding on it?

Blimey.

There's nothing wrong with a little 'natural patina' ;-) If it was a rarer make with competition history making it potentially worth a small fortune, even in that state someone would restore it, just depends on it's desirability. Looks like a couple of 140's and another 120 in the background, are they for sale as well?

There's a 240 up too:

220, 121, 144 and a 144s I think he has for sale.

Never say never, but that estate looks beyond saving to me - has the shell twisted, or does the dent on the roof just make it look like it has?

What is the point of letting cars get into that state and then trying to sell them?

As they say here in the US - Ran when parked.
