I think it was back in the 1970s that an enthusiast in Cambridge restored a vintage Rover in a shed in his back garden. When resrtoration was completed he got a crane to lift the car over his house, which was quite tall being in an Edwardian terrace. There was a picture in the Cambridge Daily News.

Yep, I was offered this over an email as well. From "quintin"
Asking for offers? Although they recon they already had two offers on the table. (take them whilst they are there you idiot).
Perhaps the money they are hoping to get is for the Bugatti they thought they found.
As suggested the crane rental is probably more that the car is worth.
It was also suggested the car could be stripped and taken through the terrace house?
Is it the same car if you chop the body up to get three the doors.
Or once the body is chopped. would it just be valued as parts for another special.
Also wasnt there a similar condition late tourer on ebay the other week for £2.5k it was up for a long while so probably sold for well less.
I hope they find there idiot, willing to pay far more than it's worth. And plenty of time on there hands.
But it wont be me. I've already saved more than I should.
Tony.
