Early, low mileage V6 with Personal Line - eBay

Just thought I'd bring this to all of your attention. It popped up on my eBay saved searches and looks like it could possibly be made into a lovely car. As ever, it's nothing to do with me!

On the face of it it's a low mileage Cowley V6 in Moonstone (I think - can't quite tell if it's silver or moonstone) with a Deep Sea interior.

HOWEVER...

Its last MOT ran out in 2008, and it failed with quite a lot of rust related fails (both sills and brake pipes). Looking through the MOT history, its earliest corrosion-related advisory was at circa 13k miles for brake pipes and exhaust components. I don't doubt that the car is genuine, but are we looking at a car that has been used very little by an elderly owner (as the advert says) that has been parked for extended periods on long grass?

Blown bulb somewhere too, although that's probably not much of an issue.

Still though it suggests a rather unloved car to me.
