The car was bought by Gerry Marshall and tucked away on a farm in Hertfordshire for a time (John Pope's farm?) before being sold on and owned eventually by DB Motors in Leicester. I think the car was then savaged to return the suspension and running gear to it's original form - either F5000 or big banger sports racer - I forget which. I don't know if the body/centre section still exists. My brother and I nearly bought the car at the end of 1977 and met GM at a pub before he took us on an 'interesting' ride to the farm to look at the Corvair. It was looking a bit shabby but fired up and we drove it round the farmyard a few times to make sure it was all there and working but it quickly overheated. We didn't buy it as it was just out of our price range but I've always regretted not getting it. I think the Corvair was the best SuperSaloon of the period - even better than Baby Bertha - and I think GM thought the same.
