My thoughts exactly.

Any suggestions where I could advertise it, rather than Fleabay?

I paid £200 for Ulysses originally in what sounds like similar rusty condition, albeit a 2006 model with an OK engine & gearbox. I would suggest £400 is still pretty cheap, but its essentially parts time for that car I'm afraid to say.

The gearbox and axles are probably the most valuable parts (if ok?), after that theres odd bits and pieces, but not a huge amount to be had breaking it. The engine would be worth about £100 max as they are fairly common, so not a great loss

£400 + £300 for delivery to Leeds

I got one given on the forum.....sold for £2K zero profit.....just a rescue.....still on the road.

I bought a 2008 with zero faults for £250+£198 delivery........chopped the rear off it.....ongoing project.

Basically I've no interest in buying another as I've 2 already.....it's worth what someone will pay for it.....simple as.

I've sent it to someone who might buy it.

Thanks everyone for your input. I sold it in the end, for £1500. Cut my losses and it will go to a good home.
