Much like dave at v-tunnings Corsa and LC are so so mint and well prepared, but there no demo cars as such, say for instants the norris designs Evo thats built to show off the company, and get evreyone talking about the car/company
the cars that very rarely get worked on, or see the light of day, but when they do there usally something special
thought about this after seeing Karl Norris of NMS cosworth, its not a demo, but his car that very rarely get pics taken of it

That is a fucking disgrace. 
Like letting St Pauls Cathedral fall into disrepair and boarding it up.

I gathered that Jimbo.
That isn't the point realy.
LOOK AT IT!!! 
That used to be one of the greatest cars ever to touch tarmac.
It was a genuine Group A RS 500 in Listerine livery. (black with a big sodding dragon on the side)
Look at it now...37 different colours, front wheels on the back, panels missing, components missing... in fact, half the bloody car has gone AWOL.
That car should still look the same way it did at the end of the '88 season.
When it was retired, it should have gone to a museum or private collection.
Doing that to it or allowing it to happen is sacriledge, like using a first pressing of Dark Side of the Moon as a beer mat or putting Monica Belucci in a boiler suit and shaving her head, or painting over the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel and stone cladding the floor.
Those cars were the zenith of production saloon car racing.
An icon like that should be cherished and painstakingly maintained, not turned into something that looks like it was found in a scrap yard.
