It is staggering what Sevens fetch in the UK. An impeccably restored car here would be lucky to reach double the equiv of L3100, and a wreck in that condition would be competing more with the scrap metal value. It just might have a good crankcase, cwp and axles. The doors are little dropped!
It is curious that the bottoms of doors are intact but the running boards etc so rusted. More typical of neglected rural vehicles here which ran through a lot of manure from daily dairy cow drives on the roads.
The accessory front bumper although of springy pattern transfers damage direct to the bodywork whereas the open tyres absorb. The rear guard shows the usual evidence of no rear bumpers.
