What happened to NER coach?

Around 1991 I was travelling to Buchan. Beside the southbound dual carriageway on what I believe was the Aberdeen to Peterhead road, though it may have been another around Aberdeen, was a small farm.

Next to the gate was an ex-NER six-wheel full brake in virtually as-withdrawn condition in LNER brown paint with BR lettering and number E275E. Not only was it in remarkable condition, it was up on blocks and retained its metal chassis complete with NER builders’ plates.

If I remember correctly the build date was 1919. Do any of your readers happen to know if this vehicle still exists, as it would surely be a prime candidate for restoration?
