If I remember correctly, the bumpers were rubber mounted, so that rear may well have been torn off during retrieval rather than dropped off due to rot. Here's a pic of the underside back when petrol was sub £/litre, wonder how it looks now. It's a rare car being a ridgebottom, if it's too far gone to put right economically, maybe it could be rebuilt as a convertible, its reg is only a digit away from one of the originals.
