I know this vehicle, it was ran as a sister vehicle to my MK 2 at show some years ago. I rebuilt the engine about 8years ago but last year the hard winter got to the block. The guys who own it asked me to look at the bad oil leak it had developed over the winter, on inspection what had happened was the block had frost cracked , the water had gone into the sump and raised the oil level so much it had pushed the oil out of the dip stick tube. Resulting in a big oil slick under the vehicle. As for the price I hope it gets that money - as it makes mine worth a few penny's !! ( he says rubbing his hands with glee )
