actually on closer inspection, it would appear that the LHR door handle is broken.

I wonder if you could roll it back up the right way and if it would drive. The wheels still look reasonably straight. Mightn't be much head room left but a sledge might pop that dent right out. Either that, or cut the roof off and you might have a paddock basher.
