I'll freely admit to being a cynical old Philistine but surely it isn't just me:

There are some dreamers about, aren't there? I wouldn't mind so much but it's not even a complete half front-end
.
Just on the off chance that you are prepared to have this piece of 'art' mounted on the turret of your west wing (subject to necessary planning consent of course) just be aware of the £95 delivery charge as well. I'm assuming you wouldn't want to collect it in person for risk of scuffing the back of the Range Rover

The vendor is presumably hoping that the fool who was soon parted from his money has since managed to acquire a little more, otherwise it's rather difficult to guess what he sees as his target market.

A themed restaurant or bar somewhere might have bought it, if, as you say, it was complete and therein, I think, lies the flaw in his master plan to part said fool from his money.................
Talking of entertaining themed Minors:

Phew! It isn't just me then!
I don't thing even the tv programme 'Money for Nothing' could do much with that...…...even it was free!

Perhaps one might be able to ‘half open’ the half bonnet and find a half engine underneath?
I have ‘watched’ it in my epay, but only to give him hope that someone might be thinking of buying it! It does have a ‘make an offer’ option.... so someone local might make an offer for the bumper, or badge, or headlamp...

Distressed it looks like scrap
.The dealer offers spares every week but always at top prices .

Any potential buyer might like to consider an equally distressed bonnet for £474, recently advertised.

This one will upset those interested in original ex-Police Minors....

Looks like it could be put back to normal quite easily
