Brincat B40F
Further to Markus' photo, posted in 2012, of Y-0701, this is how it ended up, 2 years after withdrawal in 2013. A lot of items were removed from the vehicles in store, seats, bells and gauges from the interiors, wheels, glass and, as can be seen in this picture, grilles. Luckily, very little was removed from DBY 401 before I acquired it.
