My Poor Jap Spec 75 Dorchester with Issues. :-( *SOLD*

OK. I'm sure many of.you reading this may know the story of this poor car.
I bought this last year and spent months making it look lively and it certainly did and I loved driving it until...

Last Thursday I was driving home and it felt like it had run out of fuel so I called the AA out. It hadn't.
To.cut a long story short the secondary pulley had come.unbolted and it looks like some valves on the front bank have been damaged.
We replaced the pulley but the car will not start.

Now, I have not got the time, know how or cash to do what's needed to repair the car so I want someone else to get the enjoyment of owning the car in such a great colour with the rare Aubergine interior.

The car has some service history and the cam belts have been done twice. It has 64k on the clock and it ran like a dream until black Thursday. :-(
It has MOT until December 2016

This is a Dorchester Red JAP spec car with all the desirable toys including.powerfolds, Harmon Kardon stereo, Rear blind, cruise, drivers cup.holder etc. It also has a really nice set of Serpent alloys on it. Everything inside the car works as it should.
The car is worth loads in parts but I really want someone to have it who will fix it up and have the enjoyment I wanted to have with it.

Who will give me £500 for it please?

This is what it sounds like when you try and start it now.

The car will obviously need collecting from me in Essex.
I have both keys.
