Whatever happened to the Blenheim nose car?

Well, most of us know that it’s now on the front of the Blenheim. But I came across this, so I thought I’d remind us all where it started out. I suspect this is from the Saffron Walden Weekly News or Cambridge Evening News

Did anyone ever find a photo of it in use on the road, I wonder?

May I refer you to the first sentence of my opening post, gemtlemen? It seems being facetious is misleading round these parts.

It was surely used for pattern parts during the conversion to short nose.

I seem to recollect that it is currently the cockpit section of L6739…

It certainly was – ARCo’s website says it was laid up after a fire rendered the electrical gubbins toast.

Wasn’t it electric or something like that?
