Spotted in the scrappers yesterday (one for Dan Shane?) - Guinney1971 - 23 Mar 2009
Hi all,
went for some retail therapy in Albert Looms' Scrapyard in Derby yesterday, and happened
across this sorry sight - can you guess what it was yet? (and Dan Shane should get it
right straight away!! :wink: )

So, who's gonna guess right first?
Also spotted these gems, amongst all the 'regular' cars in there of the last 20 years.

Lotus Elite I believe.
The Eclat is quite similar so is the Excel but I think it's either a type 75 or type 83 Elite II
