I thought I'd throw this one open to the floor, and let SteveH and Carl (Elder) present reasoned arguments, to descend into a personal-insult-filled slanging match, regarding the merits of this car still presenting good value as a luxury banger, even if one was to buy it in its present state and then spend £2k or so *properly* sorting out what appears to be a common cause of terminal rot in these.
I think you want this one:
Last photo shows it needs some body mods.
Leave the wings for at least 6 months, drive the car and see if it=20 really is as nice as it claims.
Repeat, get MOT'd
