To be totally truthful - I really don't know! I hope that doesn't sound too dismissive, but I only bought it for the engine (to go in one of my Delica's) so didn't really look too much into what it would need for an MOT.
It drove fine from North London to Bournemouth and has been fine each time I've driven it around the industrial estate.....but beyond that I haven't had any time to have a good look over it (every time I've been down to Bournemouth, I've been there doing other things). Mechanically it seems sound and nothing seemed untoward any time I drove it.
A friend of mine did have a look over it and said the chassis seemed very solid and that there were only a few tiny patches that possibly might want welding on the body.....but seeing as this is a seperate body/chassis vehicle, then as long as the chassis is good there shouldn't be any issues with the MOT.
Probably the best thing to do is to try and have a look at it if you can? It really is a nice car that just needs some TLC (mainly paintwork and cosmetic trim) as well as a good service etc...
The asking price is based on what the BBR engine set-up is worth - it's incredibly rare and since deciding not to pull the engine out, I would love to see this car 'saved' and put back on the road by someone who will really get the most out of it.
My friend reckons it'll need very little if anything for an MOT and I would have to agree based on what I do know of the vehicle.
PM me your number and I will happily call you and talk you through any more specific questions you have?
Regards for now,
Bruce.
