Re-reading the original email and apparently it needs a new clutch and has a fault with the carb, so that might be tricky if anyone fancied driving it home!
The uplit numberplate is interesting ;)
I wonder if the AA sticker means it was in the UK originally?
I suspect so, hence the rust. It looks like a nasty scab on the roof and the tailgate looks to be bubbling. If it had been in Cyprus all its life there is no way the tailgate would have rusted through like that. I've owned an ex Cyprus 96 and it was 100% rust free.
