I'd need to know something about the extent of the rust before even travelling to look at it.

It's a genuine caveat emptor isn't it?

Aye, I don’t think the photos display the present state of things.🤔

I rather suspect it would take a brave chap (someone like Juular) to take on a project like this. If anyone is seriously considering buying this one it would be a good idea to read Juular's thread in this section first and assure themselves they would be happy with that level of work.

The exam question was: is this fairly priced? The answer is probably yes, but the caveat is there will be a miniscule market for a project like this - particularly one needing collection from North Wales (so for most folk add £400 to the cost).

From the photos I'd say this looks like a project someone has given up on. Now, perhaps they gave up for a personal reason (medical, divorce or whatever)... or maybe it was just too big a job. It seems a bit ominous that the back seat is missing and the fuel tank not fitted - that may well mean there is no floor in the back and no sills to attach it to. It looks rather like someone started off the project with the bling bits (new front grille and wings) thinking it might be an easy flip, then had a look underneath and found... nothing much left.

This would be a pretty good donor car if one was working on a project with a sound body.

PS. The Mot history for RHR275C doesn't look all that bad. It last passed a test on 8 September 2017 at 54,891 recorded miles. A lot may have happened in the intervening 5 years though, and there were notes about underbody corrosion going back to 2011:

Advisory notice item(s)
corrosion and welding repairs to sills
vehicle has general age related corrosion through out vehicle underbody

... and 2010:

Advisory notice item(s)
Nearside Rear Suspension component mounting prescribed area is corroded but not considered excessive (2.4.A.3)
Offside Rear Suspension component mounting prescribed area is corroded but not considered excessive (2.4.A.3)
Nearside Front Brake pipe slightly corroded (3.6.B.2c)
Offside Front Brake pipe slightly corroded (3.6.B.2c)
Offside Front Brake pipe slightly corroded (3.6.B.2c)
Vehicle structure has slight corrosion (6.1.A.1)
plating repairs to chassis and underbody throughout heavily undersealed

It seems likely that it had been patched many times underneath and covered over with underseal. Probably 4 or 5 years ago the owner at that time realised it was a losing battle and the rust had won. Maybe it looked okay-ish, so someone had a go at it but has realised that without a Juular this one is just too difficult. Just my guess of course.
