The car was originally on plate TYY533L but given a private plate JIW 363.
This splendid looking car was an LPG conversion and I wonder if that led to the fire. Alternatively E10 can perish fuel lines on older models as I know of a Triumph that was burnt out as a result of a fuel leak. Worth replacing the fuel hoses with E10 resistant ones if in doubt.
The front grille has been bashed in upside down and this is the second 411 that the scrapyard has had in the past 3 years. I do hope someone will save this car......

I viewed the other fire damaged 411 - seems it might have since been recorded as Cat B, because it’s being broken for parts.
