Lots of faults/issues listed

1. Diagnostic code A displayed (speed sensor not activating) £50
2. Oil pressure gauge not working (permanently displays 99psi) £50
3. Rear brake pads very low £60
4. Power steering rack leaking £700
5. Front dampers have failed (MOT) £800 (may as well do them all round with gazgolds)
6. Front tyres worn on inner edges (MOT) £300
7. O/S track rod end boot split (MOT) £50
8. Boot not opening from button £20
9. Both washer pipes need replacing £20
10. Oil dipstick is missing £50 (can you even get these?)
11. O/S/F indicator lens has fallen out £20
12. Battery cover and spark plug covers missing £50 from scrappy + £100?
13. Radio does not work £50
They also suggested that the engine valve clearances could do with resetting at some point. (or rebuild? hinted at? £7,000

So my mostly conservative estimates add up to £2320 before re-build and there is bound to be other stuff.

Reserve will have to be about £10k IMO

They also mention a very heavy clutch....so another 800 quid.

Would easily need another 10k spending on it assuming the engine needs doing.
