Meant to upload this sooner. Locals reckon it went off the road at an opening in the continuous barrier, then was washed up further down, where it was lifted out.

I don`t think Jenner was in on this job, Barry!

However, by now he will probably have bought it for scrap!!

A quick hose down with fresh water should do the trick and then onto Ebay. Anyway aluminium cars don't corrode( ??????), so there should be no problem in getting a good price for it. Rob could perhaps give it to his wife as a present as she needs a new car!!

Do you actually know the driver?

As it happens to be a gent in the jaguarforum, who has had lots of problems with this particular car. All of these problems are actually listed there.
He was on his own in the car when this happened and lucky to manage to get out of it, swim and be alive.
