To do up and sell - remember it will have bent valves - is not economical...

Agreed, but still £200 in gaskets and ancilliaries, another £100 for cambelt kit, then new pump whilst there and associated antifreeze. Then servicing. You are looking at spending £400 - £500 on top of purchase price, plus whatever else it needs doing.  And its still pre mini facelift...

Very true, depends how much could be re-used. If it was mini-f might have been worth a go...
