Seems a bit expensive at £850 or should I go and save it?
 
It's only a 200, it's an un galvanised R170 so could be a rust pit, I'd give it a big miss!
 
If it has no MoT, I'd be inclined to suspect the seller knows it won't pass, and is beyond economic repair. It's a nearly twenty-year-old two-litre with known rust issues (rear subframe, anybody?), and it's up in the Highlands where they put a lot of salt down in winter. I'd give it a miss too.
 
It doesn't seem special enough to warrant saving, looks to be on budget tyres which rings alarm bells for me.
As suggested I suspect the seller knows it won't pass the mot.

Makes a change from the boring silver though (ours is silver :) )
 
At the very least he should have put it in for an MOT and let buyers know what it failed on, unless he doesn’t want them to know !
 
Doesn’t look too bad from the pics imo - he’s had it 13 years which is a long time.

Nearside front wing has rotted out. There's a large bracket under the rust area securing the leading edge of the wing to the inner wing, this has probably rusted out as well.
Spares or repair car :(
 
I've given it a miss.
