I suspect the seller was burned himself and is now trying to recoup some of his losses.

Yes, looks about right for that age. It is late but not late enough to have the MK3 rear seat back or MK3 boot lid form. It should be on the inner wing below the bonnet prop bracket mounted vertically. The chassis number should be where it is sitting. Late cars had the chassis number and commission number on the bonnet slam panel.

Seems to have grown an extra tank, an S master cylinder and a 45D distributor and has had the front panel replaced at some point in its life.

Not sure what is going on with the horn and starter solenoid.

Old Mk1 bonnet with original soundproofing I think? Good for anyone in Glasgow area maybe?
