Hi everyone, thanks so much the for the useful advice! I decided not to proceed in this instance, because of the rust issue and potential for greater problems down the line. The seller said that the advert had been taken down by eBay because it mentioned other models (240, 244) in the title, not just 245. I guess it’s their policy to take down ads with titles that draw unnecessary attention, by referring to lots of individual models.
I might as well use this opportunity to say - please contact me if you know of a good condition early 244/245 with round headlights, or one that might become available in the not-so-distant future! Estate and automatic gearbox preferred, and the more 70s the colour, the better. I’m prepared to part with £6-7k for the right one 😊.
Thanks again, all.
