Looks pretty solid, is it a complete car or are there bits missing?

It's all there as far as i know, i have decided to take it for an mot,  so as soon as i get time i need to free off the rear brakes as there binding and fit a new fan switch (fan works). Drove it for the first time today and was suprised how nice it drives. If it fails on things that are going to take me far to long to sort i'll be selling it as is and listing failed items if not i'll be selling it with mot. Whats it worth with mot?

Thanks guys

That famous question..... How long is a piece of string?

I couldn't tell you without seeing it in person.. I don't think you can sell it as a car that doesn't need some tidying up so I would say between 2-3k with a ticket if it's as solid as it appears.  But this is a total guess as I have no idea on condition of the mechanicals, interior etc.
