It's odd they scrap a mould, as therre might be a need to supply spare parts and servicing to the owners, or even accident repairs.
Might have been a prototype mould or something like that.

Anyway, it's a sad case and I think maybe the BMIHT (british Motor Industry Heritage Trust) or the Bristol Trust in care of the archives should have stepped in to avoid scrappage of such historic items. Hope somebody has saved them or finds them somewhere before it's too late
