Exactly - so why bother at £3.5k? Without the engine its "just" a 156 shell -yeah, yeah... GTA defenders hold on! I know it'll have a few other goodies...... but you are the buyer of a potential heap of woe. If you were trying to trade it in poor condition WITH an engine you'd get the sucking air through the teeth crap.
Ask yourself seriously "who wants this?" Very limited demand. Quite rare engines. Hassle. Not a hugely popular retailer when you need to sell it.
Two grand and I'd be slitting me own throat takin' it off yer 'ands at that mate.....
