Quite considerably
Not much! We filled it up with £70 of oil and drove it as far as we felt possible to a safe location. Let's just say it's bowels exploded
We will trailer it back to the seller tomorrow. If it is easily fixable and the drama hasn't caused any engine damage we will have it home ASAP
Thanks for all of the help!

Hehe! It is working for me
With regards to the engine, we think we have found the problem... The seller started the engine and the oil was coming from the oil pump area. Without closer inspection this has made me think that it is the dreaded oil pump bolt that left the factory without locktite!
As the engine sounded completely normal until we stopped is their likely to be any damage caused that will:
Fail the engine completely;
Or reduce its lifespan considerably?
And how can we check the damage caused?
Complete strip down, me thinks
