It was preserved by the Royal Society of Arts in 1929 and restored by the National Trust in the 1970s. and Bridget Jones's Diary. In 2017 the BBC reported that an "ugly" car parked by an elderly motorist had been vandalised, possibly by visitors who had repeatedly complained that it spoilt photographs.
