Abandoned looking SA22 in Huthwaite - Any info?

[JFN]

Saw this posted on another website a while back, been meaning to drive out and give it a look but just dont have the time at the moment.

Its probably a complete basket case but I thought maybe someone around here might know something about it?

I am almost sure its an old railway wagon that was chucked in a field lol.

That'd be awesome man. It'd be nice if someone could actually get something useful out of it instead of it just rotting away to nothing in there.

Should be able to get land owner info from land reg?

Thats such a shame, hopefully @jandesousa can find something!

Did some investigation today. Found it and also found out where the owner of said car lives. Unfortunately he was not in at the time but I'll defo go back and see what is happening with it. Needs saving.

Went back today. Owner was still not there but his daughter got him on phone. His only response was "it's not for sale or owt" ☹☹☹ so unfortunately it looks like it's one of those that's just going to sit there and rot away to nothing I might give it another month or so and go back to see if I can talk to him face to face ..... just keep annoying him just such a shame to see this go to waste

Would be a crying shame if it was never restored

well done for trying

I would say it could be to late sitting in the mud like that, they rot well without any help.
Either way should defiantly be pulled out if possible still so much that can be saved, its a 81-85 looking at the bumper, wheels would say for sure if S2or3

Other issue is I'm not sure you can get panels for them. There has been some real scabby ones on ebay and you would need to have some proper body working skills to fix.
