Great idea Rick,
I am sure it would not take much work to make it a runner, stick an Audi engine in it and the ACO would even give it an entry ;D

What a wonderful thing to own.
I suspect it could be a tad expensive to add a correct powertrain - like a couple of hundred grand, if I had the wedge and a home big enough, I'd have it as an impressive piece of wall art.
I worked for a automotive photographic company a few years ago and we shot a Jaguar XJR9 for a Dunlop Tyres ad. It too was a rolling chassis only and insurance value was GBP 120,000 back in the late 80's, so I think the bidding has a fair way to go yet.

;D Like your thinking Nordic!!! Reckon about a grand each should do the trick.
Robbo, if you don't end up using the turbo in the Min, maybe we could use that too!
I'm sure the missus won't mind this in our garage for a few months! ;)

Dangerous thinking there I would have thought, never under estimate the power of women to defy logic and put a spanner in the spokes of a great plan. :-\
I offered to store my brothers car once in my garage, you would have thought i done her mother in for all the grief it caused.

Nordic,
Reading between the lines, I get the impression that the mother in laws days are numbered. And maybe the wifes too.
Disposal is usually the biggest problem, but already it seems like the garage is out of the question. Looking at Mgmarks photo in 'Attention Mr Harper', I reckon he's your best bet. He looks like he's digging a very deep hole at a fantastic rate of knots, you could lose a lot of things down there. He advises 'an aquamist injector, squirts and bigger bangs', and this might not be bad advice to take regarding the bodies, after all, if the forensics boys can't catch them, they can hardly check their pulses.
Best of luck.

It's dark and dirty work, but someone has to provide a service - it's not pretty, but it works and comes with and a free guarantee and extended warranty. Our rates are very reasonable......

Nordic - no worries, our Two for the price of One offer will start after Easter although, if your requirements extend beyoind that and are able to wait until July, we will be introducing a brand new value added pack in time for the summer holidays, at no extra cost to the customer, which will be called "Two for One and kids are free"...............

Nordic,
There's no time to lose, you must act swiftly before she calls the cops.
You'll need a saw, some buckets, bin bags and air freshener.
You know you won't regret it, not after what you said a few months ago...
