Peter's idea sounds good to me, but where would you store it? Who would have the space?

It would be a nice challenge to someone to re-do the engine, and have it running again. In the States they are running cars with 250K miles and up, with no engine work, so they are worth fixing.

Only problem with this approach, you would have no idea how good the gearbox was, and fixing that[if it's gone!] could add another 2 thou to the overall cost.

I saw this on Yahoo! only a day or two ago, and Phil and Pottsy's replies. I do hope the lady gets a reasonable price for the car.
