What do you guys think about this?
http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/787919.htm

I'm intregued as to what caused the original damage, why there seems to be evidence that the car was originally yellow (see the scrapes on the bonnet) and whether the vendor got his sums correct in stating that they can present the car, up to the re-paint stage, for only an additional £350.

This must currently be a Cat C or D.
Potential (high mileage) bargain? Or bin-job.

Edited to add-

I presume the (rear only wink) TVR number plate is included in the sale..

Agree. Not sure what they mean by " we can do repair up to paint stage for further £350" To replace that wing and front nose section properly is easily £1500 ready to be painted. Then £500 to respray area. A good 94 would be £6-7k. Cat D drops this value to £4.5-5.5k. Buying this and repairing would cost more than a non registered car IMO. I would want to pay £3k for that max.

I wouldn't count on the plate coming with the car - it doesn't say it does.
