Probably the "Bangers & Cash" TV production team will overbid on it and take a hammering.

The more you look at it the worse it gets.

Car S.O.S might be the best bet for it , their budget seems to be pretty healthy ?

I would give that a go if I wanted another project, engine is easy to strip down and parts from rock auto arrive the same week.

It failed it's mot on 25th May last year and an advisory was low engine oil.
6 days later it passed, still with an advisory of low engine oil.
It makes you wonder why the engine is knocking, doesn't it?

Interestingly the data on this one is blank which could mean it has either never been on the market or/and the owner never sought a collective view/help from the community. Vin is #278

Interested in why they would advise on low engine oil , is it now an advisory item ?

T'was probably brought to their attention by the knock that apparently drowns out conversation,

Have to agree though, strange to mention it but definitely terminal.
