Default rs500 at a garage

i started work as a van driver for a motor factor and whilst delivering to a garage today i spotted this genuine rs500. it went there for a gearbox change about 18 months ago but the owner didn't get a replacement gearbox and has sat there since. apparently it was an ex concours car with many trophies.

yeah it is a real shame,it's got mahoosive brakes the owner got it and spent a shed load of cash on it. the owner still stays in touch with the garage but has had some family issues and has just lost interest in it i guess. yeah the window has been left open and mice have been feasting on the interior

Could be worth contacting the garage and asking if the owner will sell. If he's fed up with it someone could get a bargain?

Not their job to wash it etc... but they should roll the fucking window up, or seal it properly at least!

What a shame though, wtf is the owner doing just leaving it there - surely if he isnt interested in it/has family problems he should be selling it on?
