"There is a crease on the roof and near side quarter that’s been there since I bought the car." suggests a rear-end shunt; I'd regard the car as a pure spares ship; and corroded rear inner sills on the MoT advisories.

Thanks but no thanks.

Definately a parts car!

Far too much wrong.

The repairs to the passenger sill are of little structural benefit. Definitely agreed with the above that it's best off as a parts car, sorry :)

May have an M90 Gearbox and engine may be B230FK FH? Plus egg crate grill. So in that regard good if you need those items.

I'm with Loki on this one, that crease on the rear quarter and roof is way too offputting! :err: :eek: :nah:

Could be totally innocent (ish!) and the pervious owner broke the key in the fuel cap and it ran out of petrol - in frustration he hit and/or kicked the car in those two places.

If someone can look past those creases and repair them properly, weld the sills properly not like a bad night in Trafalgar Square and sort the other problems, they could have a bargain but they'd need to do all the work themselves to make it a bargain.

Spares mule or extensive (and extensive) restoration!

It's a bummer really.

Here we have a late model 940 that *could* go on for another 100k, but it looks like the current owner's done diddly squat to look after it and it's now too far gone.

What a waste.

Or is that just me misreading things?
