From Limousine to Henhouse and now what?

On July 14 Coys will have their annual Jaguar Auction at Blenheim Palace. As the title implies there will be many fine Jaguars in the sale and also a whole collection of post-war bubble cars. But what attracted out attention was this very sad-looking 1933 Rolls-Royce 20/25. You might call it a barnfind, but in fact the whole car is a barn. It used to be a Park Ward bodied, long wheel base enclosed limousine that supposedly served its owners well until 1953. But whoever bought it then removed the limousine body (no doubt for tax-reasons) and put on a pick-up bed. The Rolls was then used as a delivery truck for laundry. Later, after a useful life, the owner turned it into a chicken shed. Now what to do with a Rolls Royce pick-up? Suppose you had the means to buy it, what would you do...? Restore it back to a nice shiny limousine; restore it in its pick-up form; or keep it as it is and just make it running again? Tell us your ideas! (photos courtesy Coys)
