Perhaps the bonnet release cable is broken/seized - happened to me once after the car had been stood for a while. Thankfully mine fixed itself after I did something with some Bilt Hamber Ferrosol & some salty language… 😀
I'm going to stick my neck out and reckon that this latest CC offering is going to get to £15,700 plus fees, but be a no sale as not met reserve scenario...

The list... :D

#087 - ECOTY 2005 Issue - The 'Route Napoleon' Evo Car of the Year issue.
#095 - Sept 2006 - Greatest Front Wheel Drive...
