rust can be sorted and the bonnet soipler is something ive never had but always wanted. from the pics it looks like this lude just needs some love.........im all about the love.

@handsomedanc Not great news I am afraid as there is a fair bit up with the car.

The 4WS wasn't working, the alignment is out, the brakes generally didnt work well (lots of travel ad needed a pump) and the brake light was coming on, the rear brakes need replaced, the interior fan didnt work, huge chip in the windscreen, dent in the front of the bonnet and every panel with slight damage, scratches or specs of rust.

That saying the engine ran ok and had no noticable strange noise, other than a squeaky auxiliary belt.

Yeah deffo not worth the cash they are asking for, I'd be very suprised if it could pass an MOT. It hasn't been looked after.
