According to the breakers yard there is no front end (what-ever that means), two doors missing + no engine or box. Still think it's a shame to break.
That's strange R2, the damage doesn't look so bad from here!

It may have had a front end accident which distorted the whole car rendering it scrap.

If it did, then the bonnet survived OK. I've asked them for a photo of the whole car, but they just replied 'the car's had it'.

I looked at this car back in January and it has been moved on top of 2 shipping containers since the eBay photos were taken. I didn't climb up to it, although the owner said I was welcome to. The rad, front bumper and panels were missing but I'm sure the engine was in, someone must have had it since. I took a photo, if I still have it I'll post it here.

I have the pictures.... but can't seem to upload them from my tablet. No sign of front end crash damage. I'll keep trying but the wifi signal here by the pool in Koh Samui isn't great

So, by 'no front end' they mean no front wings!

I took these snaps in January and the engine was definitely in - you can see the fan - however, a lot can happen in 8 months. If I'm passing by any time soon, I'll call in. Any requests? Also, the scrap yard opposite had a two door in, and that was definitely shot through
