Must have known there was no key when he asked to test drive it or start it.

I have serious concerns for the future of that car but wouldn't I like one like that.
Thanks (I think) for posting.

Looks like he wasn't planning to make use of the original engine or drivetrain:

Looks like my concerns were well founded. :(

I couldn't bear to watch it to the end, thinking that this might be the future of all our cars.

I think I would have asked for more than just the key, like the roof or floor boards maybe. I like the fact that it has a compass though, where the fuel gauge usually is. [ smiley face]



Apparently its one of the rare 'A's' because it has fenders.

He didn’t need a key as he had no intention of driving that A in its present form. Watch the Youtube video of them taking a plasma cutter to the body and frame.

I wonder what became of the original chassis and mechanicals. Clearly, all he wanted was the body, which he preceded to cut up anyway.
