Default New VTS - CS02 VTS

Bought a vts off gumtree last week for £200. Its messy to say the least and has a long list of mot failure bits, but its mostly lights and things (as you can see!!!). Looks as if its had a smash, I've got pictures of the car from 2007 when someone bought it and it was clean as!



It'll be getting new brakes and suspension first of all, then to address the oil leak which looks to be the rocker cover. Plan is to get it back to as new standard, then start playing.




Got every mot since new, advisories have been brakes etc but i will address that. Not too sure as to the situation with the plate, guy only had the document to purchase the plates, not the retention cert, but as im the second owner since the plate went in and it hasnt been taken off, where do i stand?



The drivers door doesnt open as someone's tried stealing it in the past and failed.

It looks to be unmolested bar the cone filter. Usual rot, but ita cleaner than the vtr underneath!



Lastly, the car starts and drives but when i unlocked it earlier to get under the bonnet the hazards were flickering as if the alarm was going off, but no siren. Any ideas?



Either way its worth 200 quid, and if i can sort the plate out, bonus
