And your roof lining is where it should be! Madness!
Neil, we’ve got a dark blue (midnight sparkle?) ‘94 35k miler slowly rotting down in Dorset if you want another money pit...
(and two more, one LPG, similarly or more rotted :/ )
6pt-
I know! No internal tent effect here.
Probably. 2 of 3 were running while we were still pulling boats around, circa 10 years back. Sea air’s not kind to the bits that aren’t aloominum though ;) I’m down there on weds, will poke around.
MOT'able?
After ten years by the sea you might need a dust pan and brush to sweep the remains up with but you never know. Please let me know if you would be willing to let any parts go to help save another.

Work undertaken so far has included:
Of course I have saved a packet on the above by doing all of the work myself. I'd estimate the labour would have been somewhere around £1.5-2k?
The previous owner treated it to a basic respray, new tyres all round, new vented and cross drilled discs and decent pads all round and the 3.9 V8 is very strong indicating a rebuild at some point in its past.
Needs
The poor old thing has 202,000 miles on the clock and so is a bit rough around the edges. I didn't want anything too nice as it lives outside on the street.
I committed to buy it unseen on the basis that the £2.6k I paid was not much above scrap value for one of these. I was pleasantly surprised to find the thing was actually a viable runner!
Even the interior isn't too bad for such a high miler:
Of course it would need a full restoration to make it 'nice'. But then again it would make a lot more sense to buy something like this to start with:
