The car has been stored since its last MOT expired in 2018, indicating a period of inactivity. The vendor states they lack the skills for restoration. Specific issues mentioned include binding brakes and an illuminated EML (Engine Management Light), suggesting mechanical problems. Furthermore, the seller advises that the cambelt almost certainly needs replacing, which is a significant maintenance item. While the engine appears to run and some electrics are functional, these mechanical concerns and the lack of recent history place it below average condition, requiring substantial reconditioning.
