We, too, were approached by Quentin about this. The car is definitely worth saving, but the logistical problems will be huge! As a commercial proposition, the cost of extraction would probably exceed its current value. An army of enthusiastic volunteers could probably do the job, but not under current social distancing requirements. I suspect that craning it out is the only practical solution, but how much would that cost, I wonder?
Much to my surprise, I found that it is listed on the A7CA Chassis Register, albeit as an "old entry".
Years ago, I had the same problem when I was offered a 1933 Commer van. £35 would have secured the vehicle, but it had been entirely surrounded by new buildings and was eventually cut up on site. Let's hope that this A7 doesn't suffer that fate.
