I rather think the bodywork issues, if nothing else, make this one too far gone to be a potential "Rescue Car", but it might be of interest to someone on here, if only as a potentially cheap purchase of a source of many spares...

Funnily enough the poor condition/broken parts on this one are much better on my rust bucket! Maybe I could create a Frankenstein 480 for the monster to drive... still no guarantee it would run though! :rofl: Its in my watch list, just for the hell of it!

We did look at this one, but promptly lost interest on checking the MoT history and found serious rust issues in 2009. Probably been all downhill from there, so it really does just look like a piles of spares.

Good job that was “dry stored for 30 months”, otherwise it would have all sorts of rust issues :rofl:

remind of the classic "one careful owner", which actually translates as

"one careful owner, three neglecting ones" :rofl:
