Sadly a lot of cars end like this because of there value. A mate who buys and sells cars will often scrap a cheap part ex because it is less hassle. If he sells it by law he has to give a warranty.

He does sell some to mates as sold as seen if he thinks they are too good to scrap but only a couple of weeks ago he sent a Jag for scrap as it had problems, needed an MOT and the scrappy gave him £250.

Go to 52:12 for another 75 that is in the for sale pound at the yard, looks a nice one. They want £600 but it's offered on an online auction here https://www.salvagemarket.co.uk/auct...-saloon/152703

currently bid up to £210

Having had a few, I'd say those 400s/45s probably had front chassis rot, by time you spy it they are usually too far gone. The 400s definitely lasted better than the later 45s
