Except why it failed an MOT, which is the primary way in which in this country, in our reality, we generally judge whether are at least safe to be driven.

It may not drive perfect with an MOT, but they need to be be able to drive. If the engine is wonky, they are very agricultural compared to modern motors, more like fancy tractors. Parts are cheap too if you know where to look/which clubs to join.

Did you read

"The car is available for purchase *with or without MOT*. For more details please contact American car collector and Specialist Mr John Heda on 07836263471 to find out more or to arrange a viewing." from the original listing? The MOT on the vehicle is available if you want to pay extra and purchase it.

Someone might want to save some money, store it away on Sorn, work on it make it standard. Or someone may pay the extra for a turnkey rod/Kustom.

That is much better. But needs a decent steering wheel.

Ever tried to weld rust ?

At least they are honest and not some old shed that someone has covered in blackboard paint and badly done flames to hide the rot underneath.

you mean Me, too! when Frazer said "It's a shed. Look at the rust in the roof. And I bet it drives like total shit as well." Which suggests you are a shed with rust on the roof and you drive like total shit.
