What an absolute amateur operator, even if the car is going for scrap, you don't lift cars like that and run the risk of parts falling on to members of the public, let alone half a car!!

They had better use a fork lift like they did with this Phantom, then it would not have broken in two:

There'll be a few like that running about with no MOT soon.
Ridiculous state of affairs where older cars are MOT exempt.
This is why the MOT was brought in in the first place.

I wonder if this one went back to Rolls Royce as they (R.R.) prefer.
