Sad story Mr Artist!
I have the same story too.
Back in the 80's I found through a Moparmate a 69 Sixpack Superbee.
It was the only known Bee in the UK at that time and there has only ever been two.
I was looking for storage and I had it outside my house in Fulham London.
It attracted a lot of attention, as you could imagine lol.
I had just got married and funds were tight, then one night the local loonies started a mass riot!
It was called the anti 'POLL-TAX' brigade and they targeted the folks with nice cars!!!
Yes mine was attacked and the guy tried to stab me when I confronted him...
It really upset my new wife and I wasn't best pleased either and sold her cheap for £2500...
She is now living in France, our new enemy (the Bee not the wife) lol...
That's another whole disaster story too.
