Just had an email from Ken Scase at Silverlake; they've just taken in what appears to be a very tidy '83 / A Chevette estate under the scrappage
scheme.
All parts are available if anyone's interested; call 01489 772233 and ask for Ken Scase or email kscase@silverlakeautoparts.co.uk

It's not beyond the bounds of possibility that this car or the shell might go again; DVLA have authorised such resurrections in the past subject to VOSA inspection or SVA on the grounds of historic interest, for example with a Rover 2300 SD1 seen in Classic Car Weekly recently. This is however speculation on my part, not based on any information from Silverlake, so it's your responsibility to find out the legalities and check with Silverlake what they are and aren't happy to do / sell.
This is not to turn into another thread about the iniquities of the scrappage scheme - we've done that one already.
