Sad story on Ebay

Someone's pride and joy, suffered oil pump failure. Imagine it's on here, really sorry hope it can be saved.

It's a standard 20vt shell resprayed in Chrono colours with a fudged engine for £2700.....

Hopefully somebody will want to. Usual problem I suppose is that to put a rebuilt motor in would cost strong money. Would the car be top dollar after that? It seems possibly not as it's modified and possibly the wrong engine number?
