Sad indeed, but these things are VERY LARGE.
Might be one of those situations where everybody beleives
they should be saved, but who really wants to put up the
dough to store them?
I know that some of the MG dies were put out to rot in
a large field, needing much repair.

Does the TR6 bodyshell include a frame? I don't beleive
it does, but that could explain the price.
If it doesn't, the B is a better deal even
at the same price, because one bodyshell could
effectively build a rust free car from just about
any reasonable donor.
