And James Deans Speedster was taken on tour. But this particular RRC is actually part of the history and [some] of the culture of Essex at that time, so if the OP has an interest that's fine - doubt it'll wind up at Gaydon though!
when i went to florida there was a police museum that had an electric chair in a themed room
they said it was out of one of there prisons , couldn't even sit in it, made me go cold

Sorry to drag up and old thread.... but you know what it’s like at 03:24 in the morning and you have nothing better to do at work other than read forums!
So I’ve stumbled across this, and like some I also have a morbid fascination with gangsters and murderers (when gangsters were gangsters of course), don’t be alarmed is more the physiological psychology that fascinates me.
Ok so just to make this sound even weirder than it already does....
I remember watching this unfold on the news when I was 15, and as I grew older I found myself happily driving my Range Rover Classic and the memories came back of that car been driven away. Then it appeared on eBay, by now I’m hooked on Range Rovers and just watched Rise of the foot soldier for the first time of many, I phoned the guy after the auction had been pulled and he told me, it had been or was going to be shipped to Canada.
I didn’t believe him if I’m been honest, but either way a piece of history had just slipped through my fingers, which brings me to now and I’m yet again left wondering if that car is still out there and did it go to a worthy owner?

I confess not having read all the pages of posts, so someone may have mentioned this already … cannot the VIN # be checked with any police/insurance co. records?
Personally I can't understand people's morbid fascination, but do agree that all Classics should be restored. In the case of this one (whether it's 'the' car or not) completely strip it out & have the shell steam cleaned, which will not only remove the 'smell' but reveal all the corrosion, then see if a restoration is viable.

Essex boxer Michael Ayers was the registered keeper back in 2015 ... the 'real' one is in a unit up Yorkshire way ... Manchester maybe ...

Preferably someone who has not jacked it up and smashed it up off road, is what I meant.
I wouldnt know about that as I work on the Railway, but IMO it would be always be viable as it’s part of history, I can understand why people don’t share my love for it, but it would be a boring place if we were all the same. I just hope whoever has it, respects its heritage

My partner asked me to comment as he’s interested in the vehicle..... no need for the abuse now is there
Why the f**k would you want to do that?
Can he not use a computer then ?
