Anyone need a really daunting project?

Yikes, lots of work here but it does have a rare steel sunroof, Nardi wheel and German type knockoffs.

Hate to say it but it looks like a parts car to me as there is so much work to be done with the seized engine and gearbox alone that it is not economical to repair it. Having said that I hope someone does take it on.

Sold for $1850. The very complete tool kit alone might be worth 20% of that.

I agree and the Engine even it a seized state is worth £1000. Breaking the car is the best way to recoup your money which is a shame. Broken up you could double the $1850 easily but you need the time, workshop space and know how to do it.
