Not specifically but it looks like its had a front end o/s collision at some point. Missing the lower grill and badge, non standard mirrors. Not sure if is the photo or not but the panel gaps look a bit funky on the o/s wing. Possibly leaking oil as well!
Current: RS6 C5 Avant, E60 5 Series, '78 Mini (Queued for restoration)
Past: R56 Mini Cooper S

Yeah I've been offered it but it has no history at all, apparently stolen. Its got nothing lol was just seeing if it was a known vehicle and that other people could vouch for it but its not looking good. Done around 150k aswell so without proof of major jobs it's a massive risk!

Just thinking, that would explain the brand new o/s headlight aswell! Glad I posted, wasn't particularly awake to that lol thanks

All comes down to price really. You'll be taking a punt if you go for it but if it's stupid cheap then may be worth a shot.
Get it on a ramp if poss, see how the DRC is ( or more likely, coilovers), give it a good, long test drive to see how the 'box behaves etc. You could grab a bargain if you're lucky, in a world of financial pain if you're not....

Great work. 👍

Things you can check online, MOT and tax until mid September 2021, been off the road since 2015, failed its MOT in September because of a missing windscreen (not seen that one before, maybe had a full respray?), 166k miles, previous mot advised that the following need attention (Nearside Front Steering rack damaged but serviceable (2.2.C.1d)
Offside Front Tyre worn close to the legal limit (4.1.E.1)
Nearside Rear Tyre worn close to the legal limit (4.1.E.1)
Offside Rear Tyre worn close to the legal limit (4.1.E.1)
Exhaust has a minor leak of exhaust gases (7.1.2)) these items didn’t get flagged on the next mot BUT it might have been put through by a “friendly” mot station!

Personally I wouldn’t touch it with a shitty stick.
