We have all seen them but i just loved the finishing comment on this one :lol:

`just running a buffer over it will do 90% of the bodywork' , fantastic, don't even need to wash it ! Now i know nothing about bodywork , but my guess is that he is wrong! :lol:

"Engine does not turn but is only seized from standing, a little perseverance should have it turning without a rebuild." :lol:

So, it's seized so rusted to hell inside (best case scenario, or the belt has snapped while he tried to start it) so either way it will need a strip down. Yes you could probably free it up with diesel down the plug holes but the rust inside will wreck it.
Trouble is there are people out there that fall for it.

Sounds fairly reasonable for a 137 year old car?
