If you are still interested and if it has full service history, if the engine is not seized, (never assume), if its rotten in the places where you say then values could be anywhere between £10k for a real basket case that needs a total strip down and up to about £20k for something that might just need a bit of bodywork and some panels sprayed. Given that it has over 100k miles it might have bearing on the value but need to check that it has been serviced regularly and has the necessary paperwork to prove the work done.

Where is this car, which part of the country?

Location is London.

Its has virtually no history and just one MOT being the last one.

Lets assume its a basket case

Such a shame that it has been let to go too far, if it is a basket case then its possibly worth £10k or less and possible that its only good for breaking. It depends how much you really want one and how much you`re will to throw at it. There`s a guy in the owners club who will have spent around £100k to fully refurbish one, over a few years, and get it back on the road, more him than me but some people just have to have one at any cost.
