    No it is highly unlikely that it had been hit on both rocker panels
    in previous accidents ;-). In fact I saw no evidence of accident
    damage.

    I have also seen photos on eBay of totally rusted out 405s in the USA
    too, so yes, it DOES happen!

    Bear in mind that galvanising a car does not exempt it from
    corrosion. It only creates a very thin barrier of sacrificial metal
    coating that - once it is gone - does nothing to protect the
    underlying steel from rust.

    Only 65% of the 405 shell is galvanised (S1 version).
