I think Phil, had a couple of bits off before it went to salvage or the salvage people have... The walnut wheel I assume it had would have been added by Phil anyway.

Cannot an approach be made to the insurance the put a cat B marker on it. Perhaps an engineer's report can be obtained before it is stripped. I dosen't look like a B to me, more like a C or D. Probably somebody sitting in an office hitting the keys without thinking.

Most cars that are flooded are written off due to al the complex electrical systems & a full rewire would be too expensive along with engine and trim damage.
Was this one of the 2 cars hat Brown & Gammons had for sale in 2006 as they had 2 Damson Red V8's & I'm sure one or both were development cars. I remember seeing them in their showroom. |

Yes it is the ex B&G car they had.
It actually shows as a Mk1 ZT 260, with a build date in Jan 2004. The first actually 75 V8 was vin 353 in March 2004. |

As a 75 its the only one, as a ZT there were four. Two together went down the line with the same colour 185 and 186.
