      @edwinthompson6510 if that, way back when i was around 14 / 15, i remember an old mini shell that was in the woods where I live in N / E Derbyshire, I walk that area regularly, I watched over the years as it rusted away, now the only sign that it was ever there are bits of glass, from what was the head lamps that's if one scratches around. But one would have to have known that it was there in the first place. As kids, we used to play in it . And roll it down the shallow hill side until it finally rolled into the hollow of an old bell pit where it rotted away. This would have been around 1974/5. Best wishes, duck.👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
