I assure you it is there......................................

You may well find that the dust is actually preserving it, I've seen it happen before.
Clearly you need eyes on for this type of purchase but if all it's true it's worth a pretty penny or two.

But for me I've seen two other cars that would get my full interest, the first is the Tornado red Audi Quattro Turbo in the first picture. The second is the black Ford Capri if it's a genuine Lotus model.

Mind you all three would be out of my price range when you add the full resto costs!    

GPK514V was my car. My father and I put it into a barn on Colin Bucknell's farm temporarily(94 i think).  
 After too many years paying the costs of keeping her sat still, we decided to sell her.
We started preparations to clean her up as dust and mould had already become a concern, then Colin made an offer.  Thats the last time I seen her, which was around 1998.
The car was owned my three of my friends prior to me.  One having bought it twice!
Lovely to see these photo's, thankyou for posting.
