Great news Gaz. I had been wondering what was happening with it. Please let us know what, if any, damage it sustained.

It looks like it is in one piece. No sign of melted windows. Was there any water damage?

Was the engine was not stored in the same place?

i can't see any damage at all is nice and clean/dry inside and out no smoky or musty smell infact the only damage is to my TR Drivers club hat that was sat on my parcel shelf touching the rear plastic window............and that wiped of in about 30 seconds
the car now sits in another garage that was untouched by the fire further up the estate which is the same one where the engine was when the kiln went up in flames so no peter thankfully the engine wasn't in the kiln

It rides again.....

Excellant news at last, looks like your car will be back on the road soon.

Hope you can make it to the national at billing, if so will put your car in the special display, a car with seven lives.
