If you just look upon that car as purely a 'daily driver' and believe that the cost in getting the work done can't be recovered by reselling the vehicle afterwards, or in additional mileage in future then it doesn't make financial sense.

If that's how you view it then you have two options, to either scrap it, or sell it with the work undone. Selling without an MoT is unlikely to yield much unless it's a particularly rare example. So you may end up scrapping anyway.

However as you have a number of 75's and are a member here you would seem to have an affinity with the model and not just view it as a 'daily driver'. Do you see it as something to be conserved, looked after, treasured even and preserved for the future? If so, then the pure financial aspect becomes of reduced relevance as you're prepared to pay more than is economically viable to keep the car on the road.

Of course, with a number of 75's in your possession you could just write this one off because you have plenty more but on that basis the number of 75's around will dwindle quickly until just a favoured few are left.

Whichever you do, it has to be whole heartedly and not just a patch up job that will ultimately delay the inevitable just a few months or come back and bite you in a years time.
