That is the cheap one unfortunately, they can go for about £400 !
It's in great nick, no rust... but its worth spending £40 on filler, primer and paints and see what I can bodge up myself.

Thankfully the UK insurance companies are used to classic cars and car clubs and it's easy to get cheaper cover

Forgot to say, now have an aeronautical professional spraybooth to use any time I want (The joys of knowing people who run that certain area), access to powdercoating, welding, any sort of metalwork, and a Capri nutter in Glasgow who's dropping a V8 in one. I think I'm quite sorted for the project ahead.

So she's still not here, our initial plan was to put the front wheels on basically an a-frame trailer, and just put the back wheels on the road.
Well that's illegal I have found out !! So now trying to surce a car trailer/flatbed truck. Nightmare. On the other hand, I have had the opportunity to buy a Prodrive WRC seat out of an old Impreza - tempted to custom-make some mounts ad fit it because the front drivers seat is buggered anyway... we'll see.

1 month on from purcahse...
Bad news - Still no car : Good news - Found a trailer! Should be here within the next 2 weeks, roll it on! I was pretty shocked though... I checked insurance for the 280 Brooklands today, which is a 2.8 litre limited edition model... and for anyone living in the UK... imagine insurance for a 17 year olf on a 2.8... Was pleasently suprised to find out it was only £300 more than the 1.6, at £1700 a year!!! Must not be tempted..
