Really good to meet you today Guy, a shame the car didn't quite fit the bill but I do understand how a classic with no power steering and the lack of the creature comforts such as AC and all the rest, plus the "old fasioned look" that would put some people off, myself included I guess or I'd use it myself for the daily commute!
For the interest of anyone still wondering I will endeavor to get a fresh MoT test on it over the next week or so as it runs out in a few weeks (that crept up on me!) then I would be happy to consider any sensible offer for someone looking to have a "rolling restoration" as the saying goes.
