Saw this car today, nice chap. IP timing is retarded by about -5.0 degrees, however this wouldn't nearly cause the kind of vibration he is experiencing, it is particularly bad.
Suspect is a shot front engine mount (the one directly below the crank pulley), there is a LOT of engine movement on that end.
