As above, it’s sitting rotting in a garden somewhere. The VOC badge probably indicates it once belonged to a VOC member

Given the amount of roof visible that must be an ES.

I saw this on facebook and did a bit of digging, yes, the original poster seems to be from the Bournemouth area so it's hidden away down there somewhere.

I looked at Karl Eric Malberg's excellent 1800 pictures website and unearthed a red 46 ES, 9K at the end of the registration number, driving lamps fitted, photo taken in 2007 at the Gaydon Volvo marque day. It's clearly deteriorated a lot since then, albeit a VOC badge has been fitted! (see photos)

Probably only suitable as a donor car but who knows? a shame to see it like that though.

Interestingly another red 46 ES turned up on facebook the next day in Suffolk but in seemingly far worse condition, for sale at £2k, perhaps enough to make one good car from the two!

All the old hulks are being dug out of sheds etc etc and being advertised on eBay. Any old rust pile is fair game these days
