It's certainly not local, and after receiving those further photographs and the very helpful input from you both it's definitely a no-go, but it's all good experience.
The hunt continues although there's barely any 110s about. It's a big advantage being open to 90s and 110 though, it gives me a little more to work with.
Thanks for your quick and decisive opinions
What about that blue one on Ebay. lt's an earlier one (but it's got the updated dash which was introduced in 2002) and not the XS so no ABS/aircon etc. ln fact it's the basic SW with vinyl seats and no central locking or electric windows.
Although that can be a good thing...less to go wrong.

That's quite tatty and the paint is flaking off which suggest a quick spray job after coming out of it's military career.

Good idea I think I’ll get onto that this evening.
I think as an example of a tidy engine bay and chassis it’s really strong, certainly a stark contract from the one I sent previously.
But the spec is very bare, and the cosmetic changes alone I would make along with seating etc would run it up close to an already more ‘finished’ example like this:
Please correct me if I’m wrong but as a result of the above I think the price seems pretty high in my very modest opinion.

I would suggest it's at the high end but it looks pretty good condition..
Got to be worth more detailed photos if it's the spec you're looking for.

Good 110's tend to be £15,000+
That 2005 90XS looks like a great price if the chassis is good, definitely worth a visit to view it.
Again, that's the best specification and the best year (after they fitted the better doors but before the big road tax increase after March 2006)
Prices have fallen in the last couple of years, not massively but by a few thousand.

I am going to say a few things.
Stop looking at pretty, of course most sale ads like to show you pretty.
Wanna buy this
.
Has manual AC but rust free.
No scratches (to be seen).
I may have said it, dont get sucked in by pretty, I guess at the level of option/luxury you are looking at you will pay a premium for a good mechanically/non rusty solid 1.
Good luck the right 1 will show up.
