If you have a smashed up S2, it could be an economic proposition, but to paint that shell, expect £7,000 at least which makes that shell very expensive.

Not much detail on anything else included.

It has a chassis, a body shell and the all-important V5 'title' which isn't a bad start.

As 4129R mentioned, this would be most beneficial to somebody who has all of the parts from a similar, written-off car., otherwise the cost to build it would be prohibitive.

Agreed, the ad doesn't seem entirely specific.
Looks like he's parting it out - some items are listed separately.

e.g. Gearbox (which might be a R16 box), crash-pad, door cards, horn button etc.
