I think that this was standard practice. If a development car was kept, the manufacturer would have to pay VAT to the value of what the car had cost to produce. On a one-off hand built prototype this would be quite a high cost, and 20% of this would be a significant sum, but from a history point of view, it's a shame that these vehicles cannot be saved.
