It’s Toms find.

The car was bought by a stunt company and is currently on location with Tom filming a few scenes and will end up a bit the worse for wear.

But I have the opportunity to recover it afterwards

If it’s not too bad I may repair if not so good I’ll strip for parts.

I was just wondering if anyone had previously owned it and could tell me some history??

GOOD NEWS

Filming resumed today and the final stunt finished up with a front end impact.

No airbags deployed so I’m hoping for the best.

Picking it up tomorrow
