Anyone know this one - Epsom

Hi, this one is very close to me.

Sounds like it needs some tlc (which is fine for me as a project) but "rattle from top end of engine when warm" - i presume the classic dephaser pulley? States that belts were changed but doesnt mention whether dephaser pulley was changed at the same time.
Anyone happen to now the car or have any thoughts? cheers. Will

That will cost about £2-2500 to get right.
plus it has next to no service history.

I guess it might me ok at 1000-1200

but you will be doing
All belts again & dephaser + service
suspension will be cheap patent parts
paint
dents
tyres all round
alloys
exhaust will be falling to bits.
interior will be mank.
probably just has 1 key.

Last MOT is gash.

Thanks Steve. I woudnt argue at all with your assessment as you are no doubt quite right, The one you're selling makes so much more sense in comparison. Sadly, my budget doesnt stretch.
