All car shows, holidays, weddings, car rebuilds etc Gutted!
Anyone out there have the know how to help me please?

If the drive is spinning then it maybe a logic fault on the brd. Its a long shot but if you can get another drive the same model version etc then swap the logic brd.
beyond that its data recovery but i would do some research as it may not be as much as you think. I had a drive recovered around 20yrs ago and it was around £850 back then but not many were doing it back then.
P.
Ps. Also try it in another machine as a slave, do not try to boot from it. if you can see it then its a start. I used to have some drive software so if you can get machine to see it then drop me a line and i will do some digging.
