Every day’s a school day.

 

I briefly got excited about this, with a 99p start:

The car was in very good condition before the fire. 

Ah. Bugger. So was Notre Dame.

Brodie's would probably be able to get that back on the road. Would cost arm and a leg, though.

Funnily enough I had a dream last night that I had bought two fire-damaged SMs and was having them rebuilt into a replica Chapron Opéra saloon.

(I was somewhat richer in my dream than I am in real life.)

Yes, makes the car worthless unless you can get it on disabled tax

Oh dear, a box of matches and a gallon of petrol would sort that.

Your guess is as good as mine for what something like this is worth. I imagine the number of survivors in the UK is close to single digits though

One of those lived down the side of a house up the road from me in Cyprus.  I never had the nerve to knock though...

My calibrated finger in the air says the shinier example for sale in Portugal at £3000 plus the crispy arches and the giffer dent in the offside rear corner suggests £1000-1500 would be a good place to start. Parts supply will be interesting. As the mafia don in The Italian Job says, "Pretty car!".
